<p>Thanks for all the speedy replies, especially to Gilles.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I've tried the Anti-vignetting plugin in Digikam, but it's not quite what I want. I think i'll stick to the Lomo plugin for Gimp.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The white balance plugin in Digikam looks better than the Color Temperature one for Gimp, so I might be using that in future! Thanks for the good advice!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Also, on another note, I've found this on the digikam website:</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:600">Pictures samples</span></p>
<p></p>
<p>We need some sample files produced by recent digital cameras, especially RAW and JPEG files from different manufacturers (like Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Sigma and so on).</p>
<p>With these files, we'll be able to look at metadatas (Marker-Notes) embedded in the files to improve their support in digiKam (via the exiv2 library).</p>
<p></p>
<p>We also need sample files produced by all kind of applications (including other OS and proprietary softwares like photoshop) that include IPTC/XMP metadata. It's to ensure compatibility with other tools and to test the new automatic import of these datas in the digiKam database (comments and tags update and so on). </p>
<p></p>
<p>Let me know if you still need sample files, I have a Olympus camera.</p>
<p></p>
<p>cheers,</p>

<p>>the antivignetting tool currently permits negative radii. why?</p>

<p>> Lomo effect is to add vignetting to an image.</p>
<p>> </p>
<p>> The current plugin Anti-vignetting is dedicated to remove this effect,</p>
<p>> but the algorithm can be used to add Vignetting (:=))). There is just</p>
<p>> few settings limit to remove.</p>
