### **Example: Chromatic Aberration Strength**

<span style="color: #272727">Depending on the </span>**Strength**<span style="color: #272727"> of the chromatic aberration, you can create different looks in your scene. You can imitate the effect of a real camera with subtle aberration, or, if you wish to achieve an artistic effect, consider increasing the Strength parameter, as in the example.</span>


## **Aperture Preview**

## **File Names of Saved Channels**

---

As expected, channels keep their names as displayed in the VFB when saving them to a single *.vrimg* or *.exr* file (using the **Save all image channels to single file** VFB button). The same channel names are appended to the files when you use the VFB button **Save all image channels to separate files**.



## **Notes**

---

- When using Deadline for network rendering in combination with V-Ray Lens Effects, make sure to **disable** the **Local Rendering** option when submitting to Deadline. Otherwise, Deadline is not able to save your bloom/glare effects.
