Lensfun itself is only a library for correcting several artefacts and a database for storing lens profiles. To actually use Lensfun to process your images you need an image editing application with Lensfun support.

So far you can use Lensfun with the following applications:

* <a href="http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/">UFRaw</a> is a standalone raw processor but also contains a GIMP plugin to load RAW image files
* <a href="http://www.darktable.org/">Darktable</a> RAW processor and photo workflow software similar to Adobe Lightroom
* <a href="http://rawstudio.org/">Rawstudio</a> another raw processor
* <a href="http://digikam.org/">Digikam/Kipi</a> image management application, supports Lensfun via Kipi-Plugin
* <a href="http://seebk.github.io/GIMP-Lensfun/">GimpLensfun</a> GIMP plugin
* <a href="http://photivo.org/">Photivo</a> photo processor application
* <a href="https://github.com/neothemachine/lensfunpy">lensfunpy</a> Python wrapper for Lensfun
* <a href="http://hugin.sourceforge.net/">Hugin</a> panorama stitcher (version 2011.4.0 - 2014.0.0)

If the above applications do not recognize your camera or lens in their Lensfun tool please check the <a href="/lenslist/">list of supported lenses</a> and the <a href="/faq/">FAQ</a>.
