I made presets for Darktable which mimic Fujifilm's Film Simulations
Fujifilm cameras make really beautiful JPEGs thanks to their Film Simulation feature (where they mimic the look of certain analogue film types), but sometimes I want to do things for which you need the RAW files (like sharpening or local contrast effects or white balance fixes or whatever else would suffer under 8-bit/channel and/or JPEG artifacts). darktable is my RAW editor of choice, but it doesn't make your edits look like the out-of-camera JPEGs by default. Quite the contrary, the defaults generally need some love to bring out a nice edit of an image. To solve (pun intended)…

What it does
I made Darktable styles which look quite close to what Fujifilm does with its Film Simulations on X-series interchangable (and non-interchangable, I suppose) lens cameras.
TL;DR : I made Darktable styles which look quite close to what Fujifilm does with its Film Simulations on X-series interchangable (and non-interchangable, I suppose) lens cameras. Get the styles on the dtsolve overview page . Before I got my Fujifilm camera in 2023, I had been shooting with a 2000s-era Canon camera. The JPEGs produced by the Canon were usually okay, but not stunning, which made me do postprocessing on them using darktable fairly often. With the Fujifilm X-T4, I faced a much different challenge: I was unable to get close to the visual appeal of the out-of-camera (OOC) JPEGs using darktable, to the point that I mostly stopped using the RAW files by early 2024.

Hologram, photo management and culling built with TauriJul 2026 · github.com · ▲5Hello Hacker News photographers! Yes, this is essentially my take on photo colling and management, similar to the features that Lightroom and Darktable already have. Because I shoot in JPEG+RAW, my workflow looks like me going through my JPEG images and then eliminating the JPEGs I don't like afterwards in addition to their corresponding RAWs. At least on my old MacBook, the JPEGs were faster to load than the RAW photos (probably a combination of CR2, the file my EOS 40D, not having embedded JPEG previews and my buggy macOS version). Hologram would be my way of making this workflow easier to…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
