This 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 haven't tried it yet. One question/feature request, is there a cli mode available? I'd love to be able to set up some automatic pipelines to develop my photos, using a couple of pre-configured settings. If I could save some settings & then run those settings from the cli on a photo, that would be most excellent. Edit: existing issue for a cli-driven interface exists at https://github.com/CarVac/filmulator-gui/issues/119

The inconvenience of processing raw files is why I wrote my own software [0] to do the tonemapping to truly make a wide dynamic range scene look natural on a low dynamic range display. Now I spend mere seconds processing each raw image, and they look way better than I can get with the default processing on a smartphone. When you have the benefit of a large sensor, you don't actually need multishot HDR capture; even older cameras have plenty of dynamic range, as long as you expose properly. Now if only there were a camera with a beefy processor that I could port my software to run on... [0] https://github.com/CarVac/filmulator-gui
