What's Next for Filmtone

Batch JPEG / PNG grading

Grade entire folders at once — apply your chosen preset to every image in a directory.

Single video export

Apply the same look to one short MP4 and export with your grade baked in.

4 film-inspired presets

Kodak Portra 400, Fuji Pro 400H, Kodak Ektar 100, and Ilford HP5 Plus.

Browser demo

Try presets on your own photos before downloading the desktop app.

Desktop v0.3 — export & preview refinement

Clearer switching between photo batch export and single-video export, fewer mistakes bridging the graded preview into export defaults, aligned edit/export chrome, a searchable preset picker, and automatic video preview pause while export is busy.

Web demo preview tuning (v0.3)

Adjusted preview sizing and media presentation in the browser demo for a closer match to Desktop.

Desktop v0.4 — film process controls

Compression, compression range, print contrast, and cyan / magenta / yellow trim — aligned between the browser demo preview and Desktop export.

Quick / Pro layout and Film Stock picker (v0.4)

Quick stays on the shortest path; Pro exposes process, artifacts, source trim, and LUT in order. Preset surfaces group film stocks with clearer boundaries (including stocks like Velvia 50).

Video preview transport (v0.4.2)

Play/pause, timeline scrub, timecode, and Space to toggle playback on Web and Desktop — with locks during export or preview hold, and safe interaction alongside Compare mode.

Pro panel vocabulary & inline hints (v0.4.2)

Clearer Pro labels (film texture, source adjustments, color fringing), improved Japanese for Bloom/Halation, hover hints on collapsible headers, and a Bloom threshold tooltip.

Faster export for heavy codec sources (v0.4.3)

4K HEVC and other heavy format sources are automatically optimized before export, delivering up to 4× faster throughput.

Preset expansion

Additional film stocks and creative looks beyond the initial four.

Export quality options

More control over output resolution, format, and compression settings.

Portrait & non-16:9 video export resolution

Improving scaling so vertical sources are less likely to be shrunk more than needed, using a long-edge-oriented cap.

Smart Look AI

AI-assisted image correction on Desktop — adjusts photos to better suit the chosen preset's look. Desktop-first; Web may follow later.

DNG / RAW support

Import and grade raw files directly without prior conversion.

Windows support

Bring Filmtone Desktop to Windows for broader accessibility.

LUT export

Export your grade as a .cube LUT for use in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, and other editors.

Film-style develop step (under evaluation)

Exploring whether a dedicated develop-style stage fits Filmtone. Not included in v0.4; timing and scope are TBD.

Mobile app

A lightweight mobile companion for quick grading on the go.

Cloud preset sync

Sync your custom presets across Desktop, Web, and Mobile.

Editor plugin integration

Integrate Filmtone presets directly into photo and video editing apps.
