The "work-a-round" fails to have a proper "base curve" and other camera specific adjustments and cannot be considered sane. All you have done is to lie to darktable about which camera specifics to utilize. Except that the D5300 is closer to the D750 than other models, you might as well have told darktable you were using an Oly###. You need to use a package built for mint that supports your camera, or build your own which you see as too much trouble. Unless of course your photos are important to you. Your choice, iiuc. Or perhaps convince someone else to build it for you. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Darktable-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/darktable-users
