[Digikam-users] Photos to test new LensFun image editor plugin...

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi all digiKam users,

With digiKam for KDE4, a new plugin to correct lens distorsions have
been introduced in svn by Adrian Schroeter. This plugin for digiKam
Image Editor and Showfoto use LensFun shared library :

http://lensfun.berlios.de/

This library use a database of lens/camera settings to fix
automatically distorsions :

- Chomatics Aberrations.
- Vignetting.
- Color corrections.
- Distorsion
- Geometry

To be able to test this plugin, we need pictures taken in special conditions:

- wide angle,
- barreling and pincushion,
- tele-lenses
- panorama lenses

Of course, plugin support 16 bits color depth. You can fix RAW files directly.

Note than plugin use Exif and Makernote informations to check shot
conditions and fix image.

You can send me pictures to test in my private mail (caulier dot
gilles at gmail dot com). If you cannot use mail with large
attachements, just share your files over the web and mail me the url.

We will trying to finalize this plugin for next digiKam 0.10.0 release.

Thanks in advance for your help
