Ratings and reviews

I love this! It's so rare to find a useful app that is actually not trying to sell you anything at all. I do wish that it were possible to 1) apply the same film stock to a batch of images at once, and 2) not lose the metadata on photos when you export them. But even so this is a fantastic open source app.

Great app! One thing I hope can be made better is the categorization of the different LUTs based on the brand and ISO stop. Right now selecting and going through the different LUTs feels very all over the place. And the image window feels a bit too small to accurately see the changes made to the photo.

The new update (preview) is awesome, but sometimes the preview hasn't loaded correctly (at least at the first time), but otherwise I like it a lot. Another thing I've found is that the app crashes when I download LUTs. 15/5/26 - the new updates are very useful, and no more LUT problem. Works smoothly, very nice results. The only minor issue - the grain looks too digital to me. I prefer not to use it (the app is very useful even w/o it).

What’s new

Another cool update has arrived!
What's new:
• Film-grade grain for exports — multi-octave noise that actually looks like 35mm grain, not digital speckle
• LUT Intensity now goes up to 200% so you can push subtle film stocks harder
• Smoother Contrast and Shadows sliders — finer control, less heavy-handed at small values
• Real progress bar during export instead of a spinner that looked frozen on big files
