I have Lensfun installed and working well with Huggin. If I want to use the Lensfun database in Gimp, do I just need the plugin, i.e. the plugin will find the installed Lensfun and not install a new database.

As I haven't easily found the plugin for Opensuse Leap 42.3, I am assuming my best option is to build it from Github TIA

AFAIK the only use for lensfun with Gimp is when you need to import a digital-camera RAW image with a plugin.

OpenSuse 42.3 looks like still using Gimp 2.8.18 The only plugin I can think of will be ufRAW, probably in the Opensuse repo to install. It is old, there is a updated version nufraw which you will probably have to compile yourself. The screenshot show that opening an image and the lens adjustments.

For applications that use lensfun, it will already be there as a hugin dependency. Look for /usr/lib/liblensfun.so.0 or similar.

If you just want to apply a lens correction to an image there are Gimp filters, look in Filters -> Distorts and 'Apply Lens' or 'Lens Distortion'

Thanks, I have been using Distorts>Lens Distortion but thought it would be nice to pull the lens settings from a database rather than enter each time (or have the filter use the EXIF data to find the lens and relevant data in the database). I am also straightening JPEGs and not importing RAW. May be I should just batch process all the JPEGs taken with the same lens before importing into Gimp. Steve

Here is the link to the gimp plug-in, maybe that will help!

Thanks, very simple build and works a charm. Detects my lens correctly and saves a bit of time. Steve
