As a photographer using Darktable professionally, I find the lens correction from Darktable better than the ones from Lightroom — which I stopped using for good early last year —, but it may differ from camera to camera. The Fuji X-T3 I use already does a lot of correction by itself.
I am not sure if you know this, but I guess it does not hurt to say it: if you are on Linux, you may need to update the Lensfun's database used by Darktable, as they are separate things for some reason.
Assuming you have the liblensfun-bin package installed, just run lensfun-update-data to update the database for your user, or sudo lensfun-update-data to update it system-wide.
No idea how this work for other platforms.
- illuminated 6y agoThanks a lot for these tips, I didn't know about the separate update of the lens database. I am on Linux, yes, trying to get rid of the need to power up the MBP. Edit: I'm using Nikon D700 and the "not so good" lens algorithm was for the 16-85 lens... LR seems to take better care of it, but I'll try with the updated lens DB in Darktable.
