Design your own film stocks. Be the chemist. A full photochemical pipeline that develops your digital footage the way a darkroom would, from photons to final print.

DaVinci Resolve · OFX · macOS · Windows · Linux
Film isn't just “old-school digital.” It's a chemical system. Photo Chemist runs your footage through a 17+ stage process, reverse-engineering RGB into a 43-band spectrum, then simulating exposure, grain, halation, dye formation, development and projection, so images look made in a darkroom, not filtered.
Reverse-engineer RGB into a 43-band spectrum via dye-sensitivity controls.
Shape the HD density curves; grain and red halation emerge from the silver itself.
Cyan / magenta / yellow as asymmetric Gaussian absorption curves.
Push/pull, silver retention and inter-image effects.
Beer-Lambert transmission. Design the light that reaches the screen.
