Other Explanations
Purple fringing is usually attributed to chromatic aberration as described above, although it is not clear that all purple fringing can be explained this way. Other attributed causes of purple fringing in digital photography include many hypothesized sensor effects:
- Digital noise in dark areas
- Image processing and interpolation artifacts (almost all CCDs and CMOS require considerable processing)
- Stray ultraviolet and/or infrared light
- Image bloom from overexposure of CCD sensor (not applied to CMOS)

Famous quotes containing the word explanations:
“Financiers are great mythomaniacs, their explanations and superstitions are those of primitive men; the world is a jungle to them. They perceive acutely that they are at the dawn of economic history.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“In the nineteenth century ... explanations of who and what women were focused primarily on reproductive events—marriage, children, the empty nest, menopause. You could explain what was happening in a woman’s life, it was believed, if you knew where she was in this reproductive cycle.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
