Erx: Film Emulation Tools (Halation, bloom, accurate grain, etc)

Current version of Lightroom lacks proper emulation tools to mimic analogue photography.

I would love to see these tools in a dedicated Film Emulation panel;

-Film Stock presets like for example; Kodak Portra 400 and CineStill 800T

-Bloom and Glow

-Accurate Halation

-Simulated film grain 

-Lab Scans

There are different plugins that can achieve those things but it would be great to have these features build-in to save time and cost.

A good example of this is Davinci Resolve and its “film look creator” tool where you have all of these options in a single tab.

I find myself editing in Lightroom and then sending the finished photos to Davinci just to add bloom and halation and then back again to Lightroom to export them with my usual workflow settings.

Having all of that directly in Lightroom would be amazing and many of us woud really appreciate it!

Thanks.
