Licht camera interface showing two people near a wooded shrine in the live film viewfinder

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.

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.

Balanced response, rich blacks, neutral highlights

Kodak VISION Premier 2393

Bolder contrast, darker blacks, richer color

Fujicolor F-CP 3510

Neutral print response

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.

Lens falloff Lens aberration Lens softness Lens glare Film color response Push/pull development Stock-specific halation Acutance Grain Print response

The look and crop you preview are the look and crop you save.

Film Formats

Not just 35mm.

35mm Half-frame 6×6 6×7 4×5

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