Chromatic Aberration creates fringes of color along boundaries that separate dark and light parts of the image. It mimics the color distortion that a real-world camera produces when its lens fails to join all colors to the same point. Refer to the [Wikipedia article on Chromatic aberration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration).

## Using Chromatic Aberration

**Chromatic Aberration** uses the [Volume](Volumes.md) system, so to enable and modify **Chromatic Aberration** properties, you must add a **Chromatic Aberration** override to a [Volume](Volumes.md) in your scene.

To add **Chromatic Aberration** to a Volume:

1. In the Scene or Hierarchy view, select a GameObject that contains a Volume component to view it in the Inspector.
2. In the Inspector, navigate to **Add Override** &gt; **Post-processing** and click on **Chromatic Aberration**. Universal Render Pipeline applies **Chromatic Aberration** to any Camera this Volume affects.
