Did you ever wonder how could you create a TRI-X (or any other film) like photo from your digital image? There’s a couple of way you can do this and here is a comparison of some of the available possibilities…

I used the defaults in all software (except GIMP where the grain was added in another step).  Here comes the competitors, use the loupe and decide yourself, what is the best for you.

The GIMP is a free image manipulation software. If you want to get the film emulation, you need to download G’MIC plugin for GIMP.
