Best search youtube for Fotoxx as the author has made a number of videos on using virtually all of it's functions. It will convert raw too and work on tiffs and jpg's. It's also very easy to use and works in full 16bit. It's what might truly be called a digital darkroom and has all sorts of retouching functions that can be applied to all or selected parts of a shot. The above can be obtained as windoze applications. The use I have mentioned is covered in the tutorials on it's web page. Another program called hugin can generate the parameters for lensfun. That will take care of distortion and ca.
DARKTABLE FOR MAC GIMP UPDATE
It generally gets yearly update and I've heard that lens fun will be included. A camera profile can improve colour accuracy. Ufraw just converts raw files and only does what it needs to do. There are an untold number of plug ins for it.
DARKTABLE FOR MAC GIMP HOW TO
There are many tutorials on youtube even on how to make it look like full blown photoshop. There are some interesting ones including refocusing - part of g'mac. Often gimp usage difficulties can be cured by looking for plugins. I actually like that arrangement but gimp is hard to get to grips with. Of great interest if trying micro 4/3 as I am. It has manual CA correction and camera profiles plus a number of other things including defringing. Probably more easily used than the others but adequate.
It has lots of camera icc profiles included and my problem is probably the icc profile used to drive the monitor.
I'm having problems with colour rendition in it in comparison with others at the moment and haven't really tied that down. An interesting one with a number of filters. For anybody who want a look there is at least one video demo on youtube. I find the interface a little cluttered but am slowly getting used to it.
Darktable is neat because it indicates how much various curves can be changed which can be useful. If you are going to run Linux may as well have several about. Not sure if it has lensfun yet but when it does it will have lens specific correction files. I find Darktable OK and it's getting better. Hi I have just joined and use several including Darktable.
