> Have you considered creating a parallel product as an Adobe Lightroom plugin and/or a standalone app for still images?

Yes.

+1 on this as well, been looking for something since VSCO Film sunsetted. Also open to any recommendations from other film simulation for photography too!

If you're down to try new systems you can pick up a Fujifilm xe2 for about 250$, plus a good prime for another 250$, then shoot jpeg + raw and play with Fuji's built in film sims and in camera raw conversion settings to get remarkably film like photos.

It's a whole thing in the Fuji world, see http://fujixweekly.com/

I'm not sure if the xe2 is compatible but you can also edit "on-computer" by having the camera plugged in and using its on camera raw conversion but with the UI on your computer: https://fujifilm-x.com/global/support/download/software/x-ra...

For system agnostic, there's also tons of plugins, profiles, dstyles, LUTs and whatever else you'd like

I basically don't edit photos anymore now that I'm with Fuji. It's not like I'm artistically opposed, the extra step was basically ruining photography for me, I simply don't have the time.

I still shoot jpeg + raw though because I may be lazy but I'm not insane :p

I do shoot with Fuji X-T30 sometimes, how did you know?! But mostly shooting with iPhone nowadays since it's always with me. Your links are awesome, I'll try them out!

Yeah fuji is the one to beat for good looking film simulations for photography.

I use the velvia function + artificial grain in Lighttable, though I am very amateur.

I got an RNI pack and have been very pleased. Especially the slide simulations. https://reallyniceimages.com/

While this does answer the plain question, would you mind sharing any more details? Did you come to a decision, is there a planned release date, is there a way to subscribe to updates, etc? I'm saying all of this as a potential future customer of yours, I feel I shouldn't have to, for lack of a better word, try and force this information out of you.
