Field notes
The homepage presents a live before-and-after comparison and names support for RAW files, cropping, straightening, borders, keyboard shortcuts, and pinch-to-zoom. It lists film and paper stocks across colour, slide, motion-picture, black-and-white, and experimental categories, and says exports can retain camera EXIF. The project credits spektrafilm and its Rust port as foundations; these capabilities are described by the site, not independently tested here.
