DXO FILMPACK 6 VS DEHANCER PHOTO COMPARISION. which one is better?

[@KimHojbergJensen]

There is much hype about films. I am 65 and shot film only until I was 42 (Still shooting once in a while). I can say for sure, that if I had like leaks or other errors on the film I would discard them, unless they were dear to me because of the subject. It would never be a special feature 😂.

I found while most of the time light leak just disturbs and ruins the photo, if the frame is slightly light leaked, and the direction of the leaked light happens to point to the main object, and the color of the leaked light also matches the main object (assuming shot in color film, and if the color does not match, sometimes converting the digitalized photo to B&W will save it), light leak looks not bad to me. And I do have shot two photos which I think light leak makes a huge difference. One is a cannabis cafe, where light leak indicates the psychoactive effects of cannabis. The other frame could have been merely a common photo of the road, but the heavy light happens to fill the road, and in the area covered by the light leak there are no cars or motor bikes, and the position of two motor bikes are about at the edge of the light leak, so it looks like they are stopped by a light flooded road. (The color of the light leak is not very nice though. I turned the digitalized image to B&W).

Fujifilm C200 is still not available in FilmPack 7. Also, Kodak ColorPlus 200, Kodak Ultra Max 400, and Kodak Gold 200 are unavailable in FilmPack 7. It seems to me that FilmPack is more focused on classic films and ignores a lot of popular films still available today.

Nice video. I think so far, Dehancer is the most accurate but one big issue I have is that they dont have a good ability to correct things like highlights and shadows. I notice with Dehancer that if you add contrast, to enhance color, it's VERY easy to clip highlights and shadows and you cannot recover those things. I think if Dehancer had those and had the ability for editing raw files, it would be MUCH MUCH better.

I think Dehancer is meant to be used with the other post processing tools. FilmPack can be used standalone. It does not have some common features available in other popular post processing tools like PhotoLab (also from DxO) or LightRoom, but all the common post processing features are there.
