Chromatic fringes in PSE14, but not MS Photo Viwer

Does anyone know why when loaded straight into Photoshop Elements 14 I get chromatic fringes, but when viewed with Microsoft Windows Photo Viewer the same NEF file no fringes?
Here's a screen shot of the same NEF zoomed in to hopefully show what I mean, with PSE14 to the right. I'm using a Nikon 7200, latest ACR and PSE updated, thanks in advance 🙂

Correct answer Richard Southworth

When you load into Windows Photo Viewer the image is derived from the embedded jpeg within the raw file, not the actual raw. The camera applies chromatic aberration correction for the conversion to jpeg. You should be able to turn on chromatic aberration correction within PE 14, or at least invoke it manually.

Unfortunately, The limited ACR version of Elements does not include chromatic aberration correction. Worse, the 'correct camera distortion' of the editor does not help for purple fringing or CA.
