RawLab
Cross-brand RAW development and film looks, built around a shared C++ processing core with native Windows, macOS, Android and iOS editors.

Overview
RawLab develops camera RAW files, applies compatible Fujifilm film-simulation LUTs and custom looks, and exports finished photographs without changing the original files. It is an independent project, not an official Fujifilm product; film looks do not promise an exact match to in-camera JPEGs.
