Improvement is on the way.  I will launch a website in the next
couple of days where you can upload images and let them processed by
me, so that it is less tedious and error-prone for the average user.

A non-working snapshot can be seen at

this link elsewhere or actually use the service yet.

However, depending on the origin of the Adobe lens correction file,
this approach violates its licence.

The better way is to extend LensFun.  It is not really difficult,
actually.  You "just" have to implement the Adobe formulae, which
are well-documented.  This way, all LensFun-using programs benefit,
and DT doesn't have to re-implement LensFun code.

However, I know of noone working on it or planning to work on it.

Tschö,
Torsten.
