Slater

I think that's because with film the capture is non-linear and the levels
fall off gradually, unlike digital where there are abrupt fall offs between
high contrast, transitional areas (not the case with multipass capture).
That's my understanding, FWIW.

Yes.

There maybe a slight difference between CMOS and CCD but probably not. The
lens plays a bigger part than the body in causing "fringing."

Not at the moment (well, strictly speaking, yes). I made a request on the
Photoshop features forum for a feature to allow you to fix fringing (color
aberration) and noise and was attacked so much (I gave as good as I got, of
course) I left in disgust at the mentality of the "gate keepers."

You can try moving the affected channel(s) by one or two pixels. Select the
channel, select the Move tool and then use the arrow keys by the Numeric
keypad to nudge the pixels.

You can also use Panorama Tools (a Photoshop plug-in):

 and the tutorials posted by Brian Caldwell here:

Beware, the screenshots featured in the tutorials are from the PC version,
the readings are reversed on the Mac version of the plug-in!

Could be a problem that...

HTH.
