Defringe banding

Hello! I’ve complained a bit about defringe before, but this time it’s different (I think). In the provided image, defringe creates quite visible bands. I tried playing with the sliders and CA settings but nothing helped. Reducing radius reduces the bands, but also the total power of the tool, so that’s irrelevant. Am I doing something wrong? I use a threshold of zero to get rid of the hard edges that defringe otherwise creates. I have provided the raw, tifs, pp3, and the difference (using GIMP) created by the tool.

Your lens has problems with longitudinal chromatic aberration

Even so, I don’t think that explains the banding caused by the defringe tool.

I opened an issue on GitHub. It was a bug after all, fixed by Lawrence37’s patch.
