NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       lensfun-update-data
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Lensfun  is a library that corrects flaws in photographic images intro‐
13       duced by the lens.  It also contains a comprehensive database  of  cam‐
14       eras and lenses together with their characteristics to be able to apply
15       automatic corrections of images taken with these devices.   Lensfun  is
16       used by darktable, digiKam, rawstudio, GimpLensfun, UFRaw, and others.
17
18       lensfun-update-data  is  a  command-line program that updates Lensfun's
19       database.  It looks whether a new version is available online,  and  if
20       this  is  the  case,  it fetches the latest version and installs it lo‐
21       cally.  If called as root, the database is installed system-wide,  oth‐
22       erwise, it is installed in the user's directory.
23

FILES

25       lensfun-update-data  will  place the fetched database in /var/lib/lens‐
26       fun-updates/ (if called as root) or in  ~/.local/share/lensfun/updates/
27       (otherwise).  If necessary, it will create this directory.  If there is
28       already a database, it is replaced fully.  If Lensfun detects  a  data‐
29       base  in  one of these directories, it will use that instead of the de‐
30       fault location below /usr/....
