No, it was not visible on my monitor. I watched some videos on youtube and they showed some purple fringing as a symptom but I could not see it.

Genuine question - do you suffer at all from colour blindness, or some other vision defect? The first version shows very heavy CA, so if you can't see it there is something wrong somewhere. The easiest place to see it is in the black and white signs at the bottom of the frame.

To experiment I have turned on lens correction and reduced saturation and clarity. I had not turned on lens correction since I expected the Canon camera to do that automatically for the canon lenses. Is it gone now?

(My bold) - I know you turned on lens correction, because the difference is clear, but you hadn't mentioned that rather crucial fact. Look again at the difference...

How can lens correction be used if the shot was taken in JPEG? When I shoot in RAW and use digital lens optimizer in DPP, the CA tool is deactivated. I take that to mean the correction is being made there rather than in the camera.

While I am unaware of any vision defect, I sometimes have a tough time spotting CA and other issues. So it's always helpful to have them pointed out. I find a marked-up image is usually the best way.
