Effect

Rgb Shift

Separate and offset colour channels for chromatic aberration.

Separating colour channels and offsetting them recreates chromatic aberration and misregistered printing. Lenses do it at the edges; printers do it when plates do not align; glitch artists do it on purpose in the centre of the frame.

Small shifts feel optical. Large shifts feel broken and graphic.
