since using the nikon 35 mm 1.8 or maybe its the Nikon 3300 i am noticing a lot of CA,first on the tree branches highlighted behind and tonight my cats whiskers instead of being white had a greenish hue.

using Aperture CA tool doesn't help much if at all.

any ideas?
thanks

Have posted in the TP forum as well
 
just been through some older photos with different camera lens combos and in similar situations i can see it now when i zoom in,I've never noticed before
 
This sounds like spherochromatism, aka bokeh fringing, where the out of focus highlights take on green and purple fringing depending on whether it is in front or behind the plane of focus. Only true apochromatic lenses are perfect with respect to this and they don't come cheap. It can be edited out in PP with some care and photoshop/lightroom has some built in facilities to help deal with it. (though it's far from perfect) You just have to live with it as it's a very common trait in ordinary lenses.
