RGB Channel Split
The red, green and blue channels are offset from each other, leaving colored ghost edges. It imitates misregistered film and printing, and is a staple of glitch and music-video graphics.

Spot it
- 01Red and cyan ghosts
- 02Offset color edges
- 03Misaligned overlapping images
Why it happens
Each color channel is extracted and shifted by a different amount in different directions, then they are recombined, so edges show separated colored fringes.

Keep the original subject and composition.”
