Film simulations

Color and tone settings in a camera or editing software that imitate the look of particular analog films. Fujifilm uses the term for its in-camera profiles, many named after its own films, such as Provia, Velvia and Acros. Other brands offer similar picture styles or profiles. Film simulations change color, contrast and sometimes add grain. They can be applied to JPEGs in the camera or to raw files later.
