Chromatic Aberration tools are missing...

A few days ago I got a notification about a new Camera Raw update. I told it to go ahead and install it. After it was done I got back to work. That is when I noticed my Chromatic Aberration tools were gone. The tools for fixing lens distortion and everything were still there, just the chromatic tools were MIA. Is this just me, or is this something that was planned for some reason? I have checked and tried everything short of uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop and Bridge to fix it. Anyone else have this issue?

Oh btw, I'm on a mac running Snow Leopard

Look for an Auto-CA checkbox in the lens correction area.

Lateral-CA is caused by the red, green, and blue channels having a slightly different size on the sensor. This was fixed by the manual-CA sliders and is now fixed by the Auto-CA capability.

Axial-CA is caused by the red, green, and blue channels focusing at slightly different points. This will be fixed by defringing tools.

So there is ony an automatic mode now? Ok then, I guess that's the way it is. I prefer to do it myself since the auto tools don't always get it where I want it. Unless those have impreved as well.

Thanks for the quick reply.

The automatic feature has been getting it right for me perfectly - better than any manual tweaks I had been able to muster before. It's really better, since it analyzes the image.
