Looks even better with a trace of red/cyan chromatic abberation
reduced. About "+3" with the Photoshop CS2 Lens Correction filter
improves it. (But I'm still learning about that filter, and I'm sure
others would get it better).

I would like to know whether the reduction would be better if done to a
Raw image in Camera Raw, instead of to a JPEG? (I don't think you've
reached the limits of that camera yet).

You caught me.

Awesome camera.
But I wouldn't have shelled out for it if I did not believe that I can
use it to the hilt, artistically. I am getting an A2 printer (Epson
4800) to make the most of the wonderful resolution.
I was winning art competion awards as a young man, I am much looking
forward to continuing on that track and taking it further. (Not the
competitions so much as the art.)

If you have Photoshop CS already, you could shoot Raw, and convert the
NEFs to DNG with the 3.1 DNG Converter, then process the DNGs with CS &
ACR 2.4. (It really does work).

ACR 2.4 has chromatic abberation reduction for working with Raw, but
Photoshop CS doesn't have the Lens Correction filter for working with
post-conversion images. At the moment, when starting with Raw, rather
than scanned images, I prefer to do the chromatic abberation reduction
in ACR rather than Photoshop.

Yes.

Yes. Only a little, hence my "+3", which is a very small correction.

I notice chromatic abberation with digital when using the same lenses I
used with 35mm slides, yet didn't see it when I projected those slides
onto a screen. I think digital is a bit more ruthless where lenses are
concerned.

I normally see it most when there is detail against the sky, such as
the tree on the right of the photo. Does it matter? Perhaps not much,
and perhaps by the time you printed it much of the effect would have
disappeared. But at least one of my lenses gives a bigger effect than
that at wide angle. I shoot only Raw, and often find that a quick visit
to the "Lens" tab is useful.

Perhaps I should never have mentioned it. Now you might start looking
for it everywhere!
