PhotoFiltre
Professional-grade image retouching and filter application with a lightweight, low-latency engine.
A unique RAW photo editor simulating the chemical development of silver halide film.
Filmulator is a technically distinct RAW image editor that differentiates itself by simulating the physical and chemical processes of silver halide film development. Unlike traditional sliders in tools like Lightroom, Filmulator utilizes a mathematical model of 'stand development'—a process where film is left in a weak developer for a long period without agitation. This simulation creates a natural 'adjacency effect' where areas of high brightness deplete the developer faster than darker areas, resulting in sophisticated local contrast enhancement and high-dynamic-range compression without the artificial halos often associated with digital tone mapping. By 2026, it remains a critical tool for photographers who prioritize a 'film-like' structural response over simple color LUTs. Its architecture is built on a non-destructive pipeline, utilizing a custom database for image indexing and a simplified set of controls that focus on exposure, drama, and color temperature. It avoids the complexity of traditional curve-based editing in favor of physically-grounded parameters, making it an essential asset for high-contrast landscape and street photography where natural highlight roll-off is paramount.
