many of those tools you will probably have already installed (graphicsmagick/imagemagick + ghostscript)
so there isnt much new. with the 3.0 release we hope to have all distro packages ship the noise and basecurve tools. so the user experience is the same on all.
@darix said that the noise tools are packaged, but some dependencies are missing like gnuplot and convert. The fix would be to split out a noise-tools subpackage and correctly require convert and gnuplot.
someone could just fix the PKGBUILD for darktable to include building the noise and basecurve tools. If you have contact to the DT packagers for arch, you can ask him to talk to us in #darktable on freenode
WellâŚI got it working and managed to create my noise profiles.
My brother helped me out with creating a Docker-image based on Ubuntu with packages from OpenSUSE repository. I donât think I could repeat the procedure if I tried.
you dont even need a docker container if you are on any of the supported linux distributions. you could just install the packages from there and profile your camera.
I have two noise profiles to submit (Olympus E-510 and Panasonic GH5), but canât create an account on Darktableâs Redmine (âSorry, that was too quick! Please resubmit.â on register click).
Sorry to say, it does not work. At least not out of the box and I canât get it to work.
1st error. The Ubuntu packages for darktable-tools-noise are available but they uninstall ImageMagic. Then the script fails because it checks on ImageMagic and it is not available.
Install imageMagic â That uninstalls darktable-tools-noise.
I removed the check because darktable-tools-noise provides ImageMagic.
2nd error. I cannot solve this one. On converting, script throws this error:
â ISO 400:
images/P6070243.ORF
convert convert: Unrecognized channel type (-channel).
./darktable-gen-noiseprofile: 499: [: Illegal number:
convert convert: Unrecognized channel type (-channel).
./darktable-gen-noiseprofile: 506: [: Illegal number:
No idea what it means or how to fix it. However the noise-profile is generated!
3rd error: Model is incorrectly stated in the generated Json file.
The Json-file generated contains this line: "model": "E-M5MarkIII",
The noise profile is not recognized.
But it works when I manually change the line to: "model": "E-M5 Mark III",
