At least they used to when I played with the beta, but it may be plugin-only now, I’m not sure).&lt;p&gt;As far as I remember, they try to do some physically accurate emulation as well. The founder is a big fan of film photography and also runs some interesting gigs (like, repackaging cinema film for use in still cameras) - also blogs about color and film photography.</text></comment>

In terms of using film in modern workflows, digital is &lt;i&gt;easier&lt;/i&gt;.</text></comment>
