Linux Raw Conversion with ASP and alternatives

[monkeymonkey]

This forum has been really helpful in pointing me in the direction of running LR on linux since I am having problems registering NoiseNinja in ASP. If anyone wants to follow my steps, this is roughly what I did to get up and running:

(I pasted comments I just posted on the WineHQ)
If you're not afraid to use the command line and follow instructions it was quite easy.
I'm on 64 Bit Ubuntu 12.04.1 and I have Wine already installed and using the Wine PPA. This helps as it brings in dependencies.

Steps I took are noted below but I will reference Roland65s post:

http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/digi ... ost2171005

* Download Roland65s zip file in Step 1
* Follow the Chroot instructions on wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit but stop just after "git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine"
* type in "cd wine" without quotes
* Using a file explorer from your desktop, create a new file called "conditionvars.patch" under "/var/chroot/wine" and paste into it the contents from http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?i ... format=raw
* Note in the step above you might need use another terminal and use "gksu gedit" to create the file
* Once the file is created patch the file back in the chroot window using "patch -p1 < conditionvars.patch". Hopefully it is successful, depending on whether it is changed in the git main branch or not (hopefully when these instructions are out of date, the problem is solved).
* type in "make" in the chroot window
* follow Roland65s steps from step 3 onwards but whenever you use winetricks you'll need to type "WINE=/var/chroot/wine/wine winetricks" instead. Also winecfg is "/var/chroot/wine/wine winecfg".

Finally, wine needs to be executed above using "/var/chroot/wine/wine" following my instructions. I haven't gone as far as installing the newly compiled 32-bit libraries in my main computer as this is good enough for me for now.

Also I have a topic on this forum where I make comments about Darktable (http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=49320).

Yes, that's the tutorial I linked to in my post. However I used the version of the patch on the Bugtracker since the one linked on the Pentax forum is hardcoded to version 1.5.17 which I didn't find and since there are currently no conflicting links in GIT I wanted to let people know how I combined the advice in that link with Git Source and also specify how to succeed on a 64 bit system.

Also the patch on the bug tracker has minor differences to the one on the pentax forums.

Thank you for your procedures. I succeeded to adapt it for Gentoo 64bits. In my case, I didn't need for a chroot environment but I have reused your patch (this one provided in the bug tracker).
It works fine the Lr 4.3 (and wine 1.5.22 and winetricks 935).


About the UI, I still prefer Aftershot Pro : I found it much more reactive and intuitive. But, about the quality, Lr4 is really amazing for the highlight recovery and the noise management. I didn't believe some screenshots about HR show in the forum but it's true. And so much details are recovered in other parts (hairs, grass, leaves...). And skin with no longer bleach effect...
About running Lr with wine, I found several glitches (bad size of dialog box where some buttons can disappear, and some black area are displayed in overlay) but nothing are blocking. The most annoying problem is the "Local adjustment tool" as the cursor isn't displayed.

It's so funny how people discuss, how they get competition products up and running in the Corel forums. That clearly shows: Corel doesn't give a fu** about their own software anymore. Embarrassing...

do you mean this the same for PaintShop Pro ?

A lot of people who remember PSP from its JASC days - when it was fast, lightweight, efficient, robust and reliable rather than slow, bloated, resource-hungry and crash-prone as it is now, - would say yes.

If you followed exactly the tutorial, you shoudn't expect such problems. You probably missed some DLLs or winetricks step.
The only bug I see actually is the limitation of the number of the displayed miniatures to 400-500 images (it depends on your screen resolution).

Well, i don't know about PaintShop Pro. And, to be honest, after seeing what happened to ASP, don't care much about finding out anything about other Corel soft...
