Nature of Simulations

The camera and film simulations featured in tools like RetroLab and the Half-Frame Tool are artistic interpretations created by the author of this website. They are the result of personal research, analysis of sample images, and a passion for the aesthetics of film photography. These simulations are intended to capture the general character, color palette, grain structure, and lens qualities associated with these classic products, but they are not, and should not be considered, exact scientific replicas.

The results produced by these tools are approximations designed for creative and educational purposes, allowing users to explore different analog styles in a digital environment.
