Filmulator

Filmulator is a raw photo editor that turns camera files into finished images through a deliberately simple workflow. Instead of a sprawling toolbox, it centers on one editing model, trading fine-grained control for a streamlined, approachable interface.

Its signature feature simulates film development on your raw files as if the film had been exposed to the same light as the sensor. The process gently compresses highlights, enhances local contrast around small bright areas, lifts saturation where images are bright, and tames it where colors are extremely intense, producing natural-looking results.

You import photos by folder or file, then organize, rate, and queue them before processing in the Filmulate tab. Filmulator runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux as a free desktop application.
