Fast, pleasing default output and less fiddling
From 3 comments
Glad to see that noise reduction is on the roadmap! Does Filmulator support embedded lens profiles? I enjoyed using Filmulator btw, its default output are just lovely.
randkyp on HNYes, it very little fiddling and there's fewer sliders to lead you astray.
CarVac on HNI tried it out and it's pretty great. I could see getting through a bunch of photos pretty quickly. If I may, a couple things I are sorely missing for me: - White point selector…

ok, this is cool: it actually simulates the physical process of how film developer chemistry "spreads/gets used"…
carterschonwald on HNThis is super cool. I had no clue that there were these interesting effects from the development process, it's a great write up you have in the wiki. I ran through the docs but…

Questions
How does it simulate developer depletion
From 2 comments
"Filmulator does it by simulating the depletion of developer" - can you explain this part?
kamranjon on HNIt’s referring to the depletion of the chemicals one would use when developing a photo in a dark room.

How it compares to darktable's filmic mode and RawTherapee
From 2 comments
Well shit, I finally nailed down a Darktable workflow that doesn’t lead to chaos and then this comes along. Looks very appealing tbh - i’d be esp. interested in comparisons with…

any opnions compared to RawTeraphee?
7OVO7 on HNI see nobody answered this… so I'll answer with the caveat that I'm the author and thus biased. But I did use RT before making Filmulator, and I still use it in conjunction…
