Film physics, not filters.

Licht composes lens character with film color, grain, stock-specific halation, and print response in a layered GPU pipeline, live before the shutter.

How It Works

A layered GPU pipeline, live in the viewfinder.

Lens behavior is composed before the emulsion; print response comes after development. The saved photo uses the same model at higher quality.

Film Stocks

10 film stocks, modeled live.

Each stock combines calibrated film color with its own grain, acutance, and halation, plus a paired lens profile. The optical model runs live in the viewfinder and again at higher quality for the saved photo.

Color

Black & White

Plus a clean Sensor mode when you just want the shot.

Film Formats

Not just 35mm.

The crop changes, and physical frame geometry scales grain, halation, and acutance for each format.

Cinema Print Stocks

Finish with a cinema print stock.

Layer one of three print-response looks after any emulated film stock.
