The dreaded purple glow...

[JK]

Aaarrgh, this is so frustrating! I've got a 300D + an old 75-300 zoom which is generally ok, except that every now and then chromatic aberration rears its ugly head and things start to glow purple!
Are there any tricks/techniques around this problem or is it just a flaw with the lens ?

Here's an example of what I mean:

you can fix chromatic aberration during post processing:

or with photoshop:

That plugin works quite well, thanks!
