Pretty sure that won't do it either. I have tried using the perspective 
correction module in combination with lens correction, and again, it helps, but 
gets nowhere near fisheye-hemi. It looks like lensfun perspective correction 
offers similar functionality, where the transforms are all linear along any 
given axis.


This is a check pattern fed through fisheye-hemi:

<http://soulflyer.co.uk/grid-small-fisheye-hemi.jpg> (sorry its a bit painful 
to look at, I should have used grey not black and white) 
I'm pretty sure that no combination of barrel distortion, pincushion distortion 
and perspective correction could produce that effect.  I've certainly spent a 
long time trying, in darktable, gimp and a few other places. Hugin might be 
able to do it, but the setup required would be complicated. I might be able to 
get imagemagick to do it too. But what makes fisheye-hemi so useful is that it 
is a one click process, and part of the workflow for programs that support it. 

This really would be a very useful addition for those that like to use fisheye 
lenses for the wide field of view rather than the artistic distortion they 
produce.
