Avoiding Problems With Chromatic Abberation

Vinylspider

I've been getting a lot of problems with chromatic abberation (green and purple fringes around objects with high contrast).

So far I've taken the following steps to correct this:
1. Shoot with a smaller aperture. Not an ideal solution since I want narrow depth of field some times.
2. Avoid high contast. Again not ideal especially since I do some landscapes and skylines that are high contrast even with a filter.

I've only just realised that Canons DPP software needs me to download some lens profiles before it will start managing chromatic abberation and only then if I use that software and explicitly turn on chromatic abberation correction.

Is there anything else I should be doing?

Thanks in advance, Vinylspider.
