AI Analysis

●MidCozyShip It

Vibe-coded in 2 hours with AI tokens — clever but feels like a weekend experiment.

Strengths

•XMP RGBTable to Hald CLUT conversion unlocks Lightroom profiles for CLI workflows.
•Perlin noise grain simulation adds authentic film texture beyond simple LUT application.
•Batch processing with progress bars shows real attention to photographer workflows.

Weaknesses

•Author admits 2-hour AI-assisted build — long-term maintenance and edge cases unclear.
•Darktable and other Linux tools already handle film emulation with GUI support.

Post Description

I got sick of the state of processing RAW images on Linux, especially when you apply film emulation. So vibe-coded (took 2h and 20CHF of tokens) my own solution - uses rawtherapee or dcraw for RAW development, converts Adobe XMP RGBTables into Halt LUT tables, applies Perlin noise to simulate grain, and applies simulation based on LUT using ImageMagick.

Batch processing and multithreading is supported.
