Description Axel Krebs 2011-03-02 06:56:53 UTC
Created attachment 57596 [details]
resulting pic does not fit into rectangular frame

Version:           1.8.0 (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

After applying automatic lens correction function, the resulting pic shows distortion (barrel distorsion, e.g.); this is physics, and, so far, o.k.

For further using this pics, one has to cut into a rectangular shape manually(!!). 

This should happen automatically, of course!!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
regular application of automatic lens correction

LensFun library relevant, which do not crop result image automatically.

I think, this sounds too easy: when considering the KIPI-Plugins, DNG-/RAW-converter (..), DK does an absolutely great job in _intergrating_ such modules! 

Why shouldn't be a (simple?) way to crop _within_ DK, as long as such modules doesn't do this job themselves?

Cropping manually is not a good idea, because it is hazardeous "tasting for non-professionality". 

Automatical cropping could be an option for batch converting or so- without doubt another step forwards!

Hope you see it my way-

Automatic cropping code should already exist for the free rotation tool. Maybe we can use it in both places.
Comment 4 Julien Narboux 2011-03-03 09:35:58 UTC
I think it is hard to crop automatically without knowing the rotation angle.

Comment 5 caulier.gilles 2011-03-03 09:50:12 UTC
There is no auto-crop code in FreeRotation.

The crop feature is based on rotation angle. It's pure geometric computation.

An auto-crop function as under gimp must analyses image borders an choose the right band to cut in each side.

To resume : code from gimp (or from another image manaipulation code) must be backported...

If we could convince LensFun to produce transparent pixels for the regions that are not filled with image, then it would be easy to autocrop based on the alpha channel.

From my standpoint (of a very interested user), I am just wondering that nobody considered these appearently side-effects. OK, it's neither bug nor crash. For my feeling, it's like driving a Jaguar E-Type without front-screen... Nobody would buy that car, or?

Hope this works out-

With current implementation from git/master, as patches from Roman I Khimov have been applied, the problem still exist ?
