FAQ
How does Lupo simulate film?
Lupo models the physical process of exposing film onto an emulsion, then developing and printing it. Unlike filters, it simulates the material reactions of film, including grain and characteristic curves, for a more authentic analogue feel.
How do I buy film in Lupo?
Film is purchased by the roll for $1.99, offering twelve frames per roll. This is a one-time purchase per roll, with no subscriptions or renewals, mimicking the traditional way film is bought and used.
What are the different film emulsions available in Lupo?
Lupo offers eight distinct film emulsions: Porto, Halcyon (free), Panford, Pantri-X, Tungstill, Chromea, Velvue, and Oktichrom. Each provides unique characteristics like color balance, grain, and tonal response.
Can I see my photos before developing them in Lupo?
No, Lupo does not offer previews of your photos before the roll is developed. This is a core feature designed to replicate the analogue experience where you don't see the results until the film is processed.
