I was wondering if there is a way to fix chromatic aberration with Lightroom. I've seen some tutorials done with Photoshop, but what about LR?

There is a chromatic abberation slider.... another way to do it is reduce the purple(or whatever color the CA is) saturation - assuming the CA is not a color that is in the photo.

Hold down the ALT Key while adjusting the CA sliders and it will isolate the colors you're tweaking...

One more approach if the above techniques are not as effective if you need:

Open a brush for saturation, set to a small size, decrease the amount of saturation, choose the appropriate color from the color picker, and zoom in to an affected area and and paint over the CA. That should have a similar effect to pulling back the color channel but "localize" it so you don't drag down "proper" subjects.
