I've got a couple of important shots with some chromatic aberrations around the edges of white... is there an easy way to remove these using FCP's built-in tools and filters?

did a quick google

This one seems to be the easiest to replicate in editors such as FCP

The results of the above tutorial:

(I had to use the eye dropper to select the colors. You should be able to do the same in Final Cut)

try out some of these and see if you can play around in FCP

Thanks for the info... I did a search and came up with all this photo related stuff, but didn't think to apply it using FCP. I'll give it a try and see what happens
