If that's what most ppls are doing with it, that would seem to substanciate my comment. In either case the tooltip probably should be corrected to indicate "simulates or corrects lens distortion". /gg ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

From what our users say, it appears that most people are using it to correct lens distortions. It would be cool if someone wrote a GIMP plug-in based on the LensFun project (http://lensfun.berlios.de/). That would probably be more useful when it comes to correcting lens distortions.

Re: [Gimp-developer] strange tooltip meaning
Hi, It works in both directions: it can be used to create lens distortion or fix it.

[Gimp-developer] strange tooltip meaning
On the Filters -> Distorts -> Lens distortion... menu, the tooltip over the Lens distortion says "Corrects lens distortion". Isn't this a mistake ? I am expecting that a distortion filter *distorts*, not corrects. Hm ?
