P: Add Chromatic Aberration/Defringing tools

I shoot wide open a lot, and so I see a lot of chromatic aberration. I would love to see this tool in mobile, as it would save a lot of trips back to the computer.With this tool I would love to see what you have on the computer plus a better way to "stack samples" with the desktop you are only able to grab 1 hue range, and I've found this just doesn't work that often. I want to be able to grab once and then grab again if I still see it. Close to what you do with the shift key, but being able to have more then one sample with the green or pink hues.I would also love to see better detection in Lightroom, so I'm not doing this in the first place.

    Hi all,

     

    I am sure I am not alone with my woes here. I desperately need the defringe tool to come to the mobile Lightroom app.

     

    I have used Lightroom for years and love it. Yet, one of the most valuable features, Defringe, is not present on the mobile app. This tool is essential, and I use it on nearly every image to tidy up chromatic aberrations. The "chromatic aberration" feature on mobile simply does not work well enough for final project outputs, in my opinion. The Defringe tool on desktop is brilliant, and sorts it all out perfectly.

     

    Because it is not on the mobile app, I have to hop off of my tablet, and on to my desktop, to finalise all my images. It would be a dream to be able to edit images fully on my tablet. 

     

    Please Adobe, add the Defringe feature to mobile. I would seriously love you for it!

    The Desktop and Mobile versions of Lightroom are very similar; however, the mobile version is missing what I believe to be an essential element to photography editing: Defringe. I find it much easier to upload images to my phone and edit them from their, only switching to my PC to save an archive of the photos. I do this because mobile is a lot more user friendly in my experience, with the ability to nudge sliders and using the optimization of a phone's chipset to give realtime adjustments. The lack of defringe, though, makes it annoying to have to go on PC to make a single change. Being a mostly RAW photographer, I would like to see defringe come to the mobile platform.

      The "on/off" tool in LR mobile does absolutely nothing for purple fringe.

      ABSOLUTELY! This simple missing feature renders mobile almost useless for me.

      1. I wish Lightroom Mobile had a professional chromatic aberration removal tool like the PC version. On PC, there is a click to select the aberration area to be eliminated, but on Mobile it does not, because there are quite heavy aberration images and the chromatic aberration removal tool on Mobile is still very weak. Hopefully the developer will soon improve this function on Mobile.

      give us the defringing sliders now! It is available only on PC at the moment, there is NO REASON to not have this also on Android by now. 

      Just do it already, you cant tell me that you are that inept to not have this feature implemented on any platform other than PC.

      Please, please, please add the full chromatic aberration tool in Lightroom mobile. My main Lightroom tool is an Android tablet and it's killing me that I can't pick purple vs. green, use an eye dropper, or specify an amount. This would be insanely easy to implement on a mobile platform. Please do iOS phones too.

      This is present in the current version of Ligthroom CC for iOS (iPad at least, haven't tried the iPhone version).

      Another vote for having full control over chromatic abboration in the mobile version of lightroom CC. Seems to be a logical addition if the full version of photoshop is coming to iOS.
