On the Filters -> Distorts -> Lens distortion... menu, the tooltip over
the Lens distortion says "Corrects lens distortion".
Isn't this a mistake ? I am expecting that a distortion filter
*distorts*, not corrects.
The filter can be used for both. It can simulate lens distortion. And it
can also be used to correct lens distortions. From what our users say,
it appears that most people are using it to correct lens distortions.
It would be cool if someone wrote a GIMP plug-in based on the LensFun
project (http://lensfun.berlios.de/). That would probably be more useful
when it comes to correcting lens distortions.

I seems to recall having pointed out a couple of years back that this
should be on the enhancement menu.
If that's what most ppls are doing with it, that would seem to
substanciate my comment.
In either case the tooltip probably should be corrected to indicate
"simulates or corrects lens distortion".
