How to use AnalogFilms tone curve presets?

DxO PhotoLab
1

Could be something specific to (lack of) FilmPack8 license.
Does anyone know the purpose for the following PL9.7/Win files in a subdirectory AnalogFilms inside “Program Files” and a copy under appData\Local:
00 - Linear.preset
01 - Blue Shift DT.preset
02 - Red Shift DT.preset
03 - Yell Contrast DT.preset
04 - Blue Contrast DT.preset
05 - Yell H Contrast DT.preset
06 - Olymp base fix.preset
07 - Olymp Scan base.preset
08 - Epson base Fix.preset
09 - Epson Base.preset
10 - Indi DT.preset
11 - Indi f DT.preset
12 - Green Shift DT.preset
13 - Green Dom DT.preset

I have no idea what DT stands for here, surely it’s not for DarkTable :wink:

The following parameters are set there:
AnalogFilmActive
AnalogFilmToneCurveMasterPoints
AnalogFilmToneCurveRedPoints
AnalogFilmToneCurveGreenPoints
AnalogFilmToneCurveBluePoints

These look like Tone Curve presets but they are not. I have FilmPack7 licence but no FP8, which could be the reason I don’t see any way to use them in PhotoLab (?).
In my case using them as Tone Curve presets does nothing. These parameters are also set (to inactive, linear state) in some DxO standard presets:
1 - DxO Style - Natural.preset
2 - DxO Standard.preset
3 - DxO Optical Corrections only.preset

Just curious…

EDIT: These seem to be used in FP8, Film scan optimizer → Color shift neutralizer.
But what on earth they are doing in PhotoLab directory?
Is “Film scan optimizer” available in PL9, if you have FP8 license?

These presets are contained in PL9 (Mac) and are made in a way to work in combination with FP as you propose, @Wlodek

If these presets are present inside a (viewable) directory, an issue with the installer might have copied them there. And yes, Film Scan Optimizer was available when I had the FP8 trial license.

Thanks.
I’ve tested FP8 but wasn’t interested in Film Scan Optimizer, so quickly forgot it :frowning:
