Description
Emulsine is a film emulation camera for iPhone, with 35 film looks inspired by real film stocks. Preview the color as you compose; grain, halation and diffusion are applied after capture. Shoot HEIC, JPEG or RAW, import your own LUTs, and develop a saved RAW again with a different look. Free to start, with a 7-day trial of all Pro features. Requires iOS 26 or later.

Could you build this?
No Building a real-time film emulation camera requires custom Metal shaders, deep color science expertise (3D LUTs, film grain generation, halation/diffusion blurs), and low-level iOS AVFoundation camera pipeline optimization.
What it would actually take: A real version requires Swift with Metal for GPU-accelerated image processing and AVFoundation for high-frame-rate Bayer RAW/ProRAW capture. The core difficulty lies in writing custom fragment compute shaders to simulate photorealistic non-linear film grain, halation scattering algorithms, and color transformation math that execute at 30-60 fps live in the viewfinder without overheating the device.
