**Transverse**

Transverse (or lateral) chromatic aberration. This specifies the magnification factors for the red, green, and blue primaries respectively. When unequal, this can produce a tinge which is most pronounced near the image edges. It will increase color noise, however.

**Axial**

Axial (or longitudinal) chromatic aberration. This specifies the chromatic focal shift for the red, green, and blue primaries respectively. When unequal, this can produce a tinge on bokeh and out of focus objects. It will increase color noise, however.
