>>2243547The trick with images that have a chromatic aberration effect is to undo it before doing the render.
It's done by transforming each color channel individually, so separate the channels into layers.
Then paste them into masks of RGB color fills set to Lighten blending mode against a black background.
Then undo the transformation, which, in this case, is just left to right translation.

https://files.catbox.moe/wc6bhd.pngThe chromatic aberration shouldn't be in the render anyway.
That's because the colors on the outside of a black outline don't come from the outline.
Physically, they come from the white background.
So if the render were to go against a black background, there wouldn't be any color on the outside.
The chromatic aberration effect should only be reapplied on the finished composition, if so desired.
Also, don't import JPEG's directly into Photopea.
Its JPEG importer is broken and does not upsample chroma properly.
That's why you end up with 2x2 pixels with bright colors.
Instead, convert it to PNG with another tool (e.g. ImageMagick) and import that.
Only exception would be if the JPEG was saved without chroma downsampling (not usually the case).
