Ship every stock that exists, black and white included
Three profiles was what the first cut needed to prove the model. This is the rest of the open data: 23 camera stocks and 9 papers, which is all of spektrafilm. Black and white was the gap, and it turned out not to be a gap in the data -- it was a gap in where I looked. Upstream's `main` has 28 colour profiles and nothing monochrome; `dev` has three more, and they are Tri-X, Double-X and the 2302 print film they go onto. So the answer to "do we have B&W" was yes all along, and it needed the dev branch rather than a fortnight digitising Ilford's datasheet graphs by eye. Those three are pinned to `dev` per stock; the colour stocks stay on the released branch. A monochrome profile is single-channel -- one emulsion, not three -- and spreading that one layer across all three is exact rather than an approximation: three layers with identical sensitivity and identical curves respond identically, which is what one layer does. The dye is the trap. The renderer *sums* the three layers' contributions, so replicating it unchanged renders every frame three times too dense -- neutrally, and therefore plausibly. A third each reconstructs the single emulsion, and two tests hold both halves: that the densities stay equal, and that they sum to one emulsion and not three. Double-X and 2302 ship five curves apiece, measured at five development times -- 4 to 12 minutes for Double-X. That is push and pull processing as measured data. The standard 6.5 minutes is what ships; the rest is in the upstream file waiting for a control to ask for it. Two stocks are `support: film` and are nevertheless what a negative is printed *onto*: the cine projection films 2383 and 2393, which the Vision3 stocks print to. Filtering the picker on support alone offered a projection stock as something to load in a camera, so it filters on stage, with a test saying so. The picker had to change shape twice over. Chips were right for three stocks and off the edge of a 280px column at twenty-four, and the column that replaced them was a thousand pixels standing between the photographer and every slider below. It is a disclosure now: one row carrying the answer, opened to change it, closed again on choosing. That is the opposite of the argument this panel used to take the lids off its sliders, and deliberately so -- an instrument you compare wants to be visible, and a list you consult once wants to be out of the way.

Simulate a film stock from its measurements, not from someone's grade
FR-DEV-3f asks for look emulation and proposes HaldCLUT import to inherit
the free film-simulation ecosystem. This takes the other road for the
stocks where the measurements exist: run the physics.
A stock here is its manufacturer's own datasheet -- spectral sensitivity,
characteristic curves, dye densities. Light exposes three emulsion layers,
the layers develop to densities, the densities are dyes that absorb, and
what is left is what reaches the eye. A colour negative comes out orange
and upside down because that is what a colour negative is; it becomes a
photograph when a paper profile prints it, with the enlarger's filtration
solved rather than dialled.
What that buys over a LUT is that the parameters stay physical. Opening up
a stop moves the picture along the film's real characteristic curve,
shoulder and all, instead of scaling a number baked at one exposure. The
data cost runs the other way too: a stock is 17 kB of published
measurements where one HaldCLUT is 800 kB of one person's grade.
It looks like it needs a spectral integration per pixel. It does not, and
that is the whole design:
- Exposure is a 3x3 matrix. The reconstructed scene spectrum is linear
in the sRGB triple, so the integral collapses into nine numbers,
exactly -- no approximation.
- The characteristic curve is three 1D functions, sampled exactly.
- Everything after that -- dye absorption, the print through the
negative, the paper, the viewing illuminant, the adaptation -- takes
exactly three numbers in, so it bakes into one 32^3 lookup.
Per pixel: a matrix multiply, three curve taps, one fetch. Splitting the
curve out of the 3D lookup rather than baking one LUT over exposure is
measured, not assumed: the curve carries the sharp shape and the dye
mixing is smooth, so folding them together would need three times the
resolution for the same error. At 32^3 the worst error is 0.003 in linear
sRGB, under one 8-bit code value, and a test says so.
No wgpu dependency, deliberately, and the same isolation argument dr-lens
makes: the model is plain f32 with a documented layout, so every property
worth asserting is asserted on the CPU. Binding it to a texture is dr-gpu's
job and is not done here yet.
The expected values in tests/ came from a Python prototype running against
a different colour-science stack. Agreement to three decimals is evidence
about the model rather than about one implementation of it -- a transposed
matrix or a mispasted observer row would pass every unit test and fail
that one.
Profiles are converted from spektrafilm by Andrea Volpato, CC BY-SA 4.0.
The converter is in the tree and runnable, so what was changed from
upstream is auditable rather than taken on trust; profiles/CHANGELOG.txt
records it, including the one deliberate deviation -- Mallett & Yuksel's
1 kB basis instead of Hanatos's 4 MB table, which costs accuracy at the
gamut edge and saves four megabytes.
