1. An automated, computerized method for an automatic correction of chromatic aberration in an image, comprising the steps of:
- setting a range of test correction factors;
applying the test correction factors of the range, incrementally, to a test block of the image;
measuring chromatic aberration error at the test block after application of each of the test correction factors; and
selecting a test correction factor having a lowest chromatic aberration error.
