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:
“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)
“We operate exclusively with things that do not exist, with lines, surfaces, bodies, atoms, divisible time spans, divisible spaces—how could explanations be possible at all when we initially turn everything into images, into our images!”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
