If you shoot stills and want the positives of film and not the negatives, try my open-source photo editor Filmulator, which simulates the depletion and diffusion of developer liquid to enhance color, improve local contrast, and reduce global contrast, without any of the halation, grain, scratches, color shifts, or any of that nonsense.

Aside from the draw of the film simulation, I've designed it to have a very streamlined user interface that should be easy for new users to pick up.
- Jackim 6y agoI like your project, but I think the HDR halo effect [1] in your after photos is a little too pronounced. [1] - https://www.trentsizemore.com/2013/02/23/the-halo-effect-bad-hdr/ https://www.trentsizemore.com/2013/02/23/the-halo-effect-bad...
- CarVac 6y agoI overcooked the samples a bit just to make the effect more noticeable. I usually edit my photos much less strongly than that. Also, the appropriate size halos vary depending on the display size. If you're viewing on a phone, the radius needs to be larger to not be noticeable. If I print them out A3+, though, the halos fade away and my brain interprets them as contrast in the original scene. Should I adjust my samples?
- mromanuk 6y agoOr you can try showing a a sample per device, maybe that work.
- CarVac 6y agoI'd really like that but I'm no web dev and it's probably challenging to do with the static site generator I'm using (Zola).

Click here to see an image adjusted for your device” > Second page/popup/whatever > “I’m viewing on: iPhone, desktop, HDR, etc” > show appropriate image. Points being: Don’t complicate the view for most visitors, but let the pros know that they are right to ask.
- joshspankit 6y agoThere are ways to automatically show the right image, but the people who care typically get thrown off when “automagic” replaces choice
- Jackim 6y agoI'm viewing on my desktop. The ones that really stood out to me as having halos were https://filmulator.org/images/photos/IMG_0866-output-small.jpg https://filmulator.org/images/photos/IMG_0866-output-small.j... and https://filmulator.org/images/photos/P6220039_rCnnq8S-output-small.jpg https://filmulator.org/images/photos/P6220039_rCnnq8S-output... Not sure what the solution is. Just thought I'd add my thoughts!
- BiosElement 6y agoWow mate, I'm just an amateur cosplay photographer, but legit thanks for sharing. I'll have to investigate further but this looks exactly like what I needed.
