Well, after having measured TCA for dozens of lenses now, I'm
surprised at the complexity of your model.  In fact, the full
polynomial of tca_correct uses to give me worse results than the
simple linear model realised by Darktable's TCA sliders.
tca_correct may yield sub-optimal results, but the linear results
are often really pleasing.

Then, when I read about 4th order polynomials with mixed terms, I'm
really tempted to call this over-engineered.  ;-)  That said, I like
an automatic approach -- Adobe had good reason to abandon
profile-based TCA correction.

By the way, does Stéphane Gimenez read this list?  I didn't have him
on CC.

Tschö,
Torsten.
