  1. <p>I have a EOS 20D and shoot RAW. I want to convert the colors from the RAWs such that they approximate the look of specific color negative film (such as Natura 1600 and others).</p> <p>Are there any free (*) options which let me do that? I know that there are commercial softwares offered for this but I am looking for free options, especially I am wondering if I can do this somehow in Raw Therapee?</p> <p>My goal is only to approximate the film colors, not necessarily the grain. Also I am aware that a 100% exact film simulation is not possible, I am already shooting physical film mainly but it has become a serious cost issue where I live so I started experimenting with digital. All I want is to approximate the colors which I love from my scanned film negatives somehow in my digital pictures, too. The unprocessed RAW files always look so flat and dull, and the Raw Therapee "Bundled profiles" (Contrasty, Pop...) which I found look unconvincing. I wonder if I can have profiles simulating Natura 1600, X-tra 400 etc. Thank you.<br /> <br />(*) By "free" I mean free-as-in-beer or free-as-in-open-source, both is fine.</p>
  2. <p>The b/w film I usually shoot is Ilford Delta 3200, and I always have it developed by a lab (here in Japan).<br> But I now want to develop the film myself.<br> I have read a couple of tutorials on the net and it does not sound too complicated BUT I am wondering if Delta 3200 is too demanding to be developed by a beginner? I have lots of respect for a film that can be shot at 3200 and higher : ) , so I was just wondering if I can have some comments by anyone who has developed Ilford Delta 3200 at home already, would be great to read you opinions.<br> Is it doable? Are there any special points to be aware of? Is timing and temperature super-critical when developing very high ISO b/w film as compared to the 100 - 400 range? Should I forget about this film and start with some ISO 400 b/w film first?</p>
