Raw2Film

PyPI version Docs CI Version License Python

Raw2Film is full raw image editor with a focus on realistic film emulation.

The looks are based on published film datasheets and use the image processing pipeline from Spectral Film LUT.

The film emulation includes:

  • Both negative and print material emulation for a huge variety of emulsions.
  • Grain with varying intensity based on brightness and hue.
  • Halation to add natural glow to highlights (no data available, so intensity should be adjusted to taste).
  • Resolution and micro-contrast matches mtf chart for each film stock.
  • Set the simulated frame size to match resolution, grain intensity, and aspect ratio.

The interface is designed to be familiar for anyone who has used a raw editor before.

  • The image bar on the bottom lets you select one or multiple images to edit at once. ( Select multiple with Shift or Ctrl.)
  • Copy settings from one image to the selected ones by clicking on the thumbnail with the middle mouse button.
  • Double click on a settings label to reset to the default value.
  • Many shortcuts are available. Hover over a setting to see its description and shortcut.
