vkdt - some questions

I patched to D50, now the matrix is filled correctly. But I assume then somewhere else I would need to adapt, the image looks too warm …

yeah no you can’t just use the wrong matrix :slight_smile: i have very “nice” chromatic adaptation code specifically for this case, unfortunately the tests say no:

Thanks :slight_smile: I just wanted to test if the right tag causes the matrix to be initialized, was aware that this does not really solve the issue :wink:

i think i got this. only now i am sidetracked installing nixos so i can update the flake when also updating rawler while at it…

:heart_eyes: sidetracked in the best way possible!

Of course you should use NixOS, but you don’t have to. The nix package manager is sufficient to do the job and can be installed on just about any distro. It is actually already packed for debian.

Thank you - take your time, no need to hurry :slight_smile:

Quick question because I am lazy to search it and rather ask someone with first hand experience. Can you build a nix config whilst using the package manager in a different distro, and then carry that to a nixos install?

can you try the current version from git please? i don’t have a lot of samples and it’s easy to get the chromatic adaptation upside down. let me know if it looks odd.

i’ll let the experts answer that :slight_smile: i think nix-shell carries over directly. and the dependencies you declare there are certainly easily carried over to other config fragments. so far i really like it.

Mostly yes. If you’re talking about things like your shell environment, then 100% yes. If you’re talking graphical apps and desktop environment, then mostly yes, but you’d need things you don’t need in NixOS like NixGL.

If you’re looking to try it out without going all out on NixOS, install the nix package manager on your distro. You can probably get it from your package manager. Dev shells are really cool: you can write a nix expression and run it, and you’ll have an ephemeral shell environment where you have all the dependencies you listed. Exit that shell and they’re gone.

Things I work on tend to have those environments: dtdocs, rawpedia, the pixls website. Vkdt and darktable also have them.

Thanks.

Sounds really cool, I’ll give it a try :slight_smile:

Many thanks - now it works for Leica SL2-S DNGs! :slight_smile:
