Mini-film is an open-source tool for photographers that automates the workflow of importing, developing, reviewing, and publishing RAW photos using film emulation profiles, without needing Lightroom. It features a desktop app with live review UI, batch processing, and supports Nikon WTU wireless ingest, making it a practical alternative for film-emulation enthusiasts. Its interesting combination of a Rust backend, Tauri GUI, and integration with RawTherapee, exiftool, and Codex AI assist sets it apart from simple batch converters.
