probably not, the glass needs to be uniform in color and not have texture.
Hi Mica. Yesterday had things going wrong with the system. Now Iám back online with a fresh install of ubuntu 18.10. But same problem nu updated lensfun database. Also now the update with the command sudo lensfun-update-data does not function.
Which linux distro do you use so I get a distro that’s real good for Darktable.
Hope to hear from you.
Morgen!
There are many good distros.
Previously, I used Ubuntu for many years
and never had any problems with RawTherapee,
darktable, or The Gimp.
Presently I am on Manjaro (which is a so called rolling distro,
always trying to serve you the latest versions).
I believe that Mica is on Debian stable. Or at least was:
In order to decide which distro works the best for you: why not
get a USB stick (with about 4 gig capacity), load it with a “live” distro,
boot from the USB and try it before you install it?
Have fun!

Many thanks for the update . I’am going to test Manjaro and Antergos
Hi Claes,
Although one question. After installing Manjaro you only have to install darktable from official site and you get automatically the updated database from lensfun?
Hi Claes,
Sorry another question,
GIMP in Ubuntu 18.10 does not let Gḿic install somehow. Is this no problem with Manjaro?
Hope to hear from you.
Ha! Do not be sorry! Questions can be fun [at least if I am able to come up with an educated reply :-)]
If you select the Live USB-method, you can test as many as you like.
I have never tried Antergos (at least not yet), so I can really only tell about my experience with Manjaro.
After installing Manjaro…
Why install it? Why not test using the Live USB-Manjaro?
No, you do not have to fetch darktable from official site.
You fetch it using Manjaro’s Package Manager.
Using the package manager, I can select if I want
RawTherapee 1:5.4-1 or RawTherapee-git (= nightly build).
darktable 2:2.4.4-2 or darktable-git (=nightly build).
gimp 2.10.8-1 or gimp-git.
gmic 2.4.1-1 (which works just fine with The Gimp).
I made the lensfun db update a few days ago using paperdigit’s terminal commands.
I’ll gladly answer more questions if I can help you, but I am going to be AFK for an hour or two…

Hi Claes,
Thanks for the update. That package manager is what i’am missing in the new versions of ubuntu. It used to be there (years ago). They have changed that.
For me working with lybrea Office, Darktable and Gimp are the main applications. The rest is more internet based.
Important for me too is the setting of the brightness of the monitor. Something i realy miss in Ubuntu.
I’am goin to try Manjaro and let you know my experience.
Greetings
I am indeed on Debian Stable for my editing machine, but I use the flatpak of darktable, the appimage of gimp, and a few other apps in either flatpak or appimage.
Yep. Antergos (gnome windows manager) active.
Somehow Manjaro did not function well on my PC.
Did not found a solution for that.
Lensfun updated directly after setting the command " lensfun-update-data" in terminal.
Perfect. I’am happy. Also G’mic for GIMP active. Was not possible on Ubuntu 18.10.
Hope to make some photos this weekend.
Uitstekend!
Never mind that Manjaro does not function well
on your machine - instead: be happy that Antergos
works

Hi Claes,
I made some photos for vignette correction in Darktable for the 23mm F2 R WR lens of fujifilm. Which e-mail can I send it to. It will be a Wetransfer of 5 files. Hear from you.
Avonds,
Actually, I do not know. Wouldn’t it be
to Torsten Bronger? See here:

Thank you for the update. I send them to Torsten with Wetransfer.
Every is still working fine.
At www.multimedia4linux.de there are plugins for Darktable. Also for blending raw images. Specially the darktable plugin enfuse professional looks intesting. Will that funcyion in our linux Distro. Do you use that plugin?
Greetings.
Morgen,
No, I do not have any extra plugins for dt (I have problems keeping up with all the modules that are already included )
Would enfuse work in your distro? Most probably. It is easy for you to test.
