P: Polychromatic Film Grain and Halation

With the really wonderful lens blur simulation tool, I would really love to see other optical simulations such as halation to simulate film glow or blackmist lens filters. 

Halation for those of you who don't know is a glow on bright light sources that spills further into the image. If you've ever had a foggy lens, that's sort of an extreme version of the effect. It creates a dreamy effect, and softens it while still retaining clarity (not quite sure how to properly describe it, but it's kind of a perfect meld of filmic softness and digital clarity). 

It would be very useful to do this without having to use a filter, which is an additional piece of equipment and can effect exposure and focus, and is ultimately a "destructive" effect that you can't change in editing once you've shot with the filter.

It's possible to emulate this with a roundtrip to photoshop or other tools, but that's time consuming and is quite fiddly and takes up additional hard drive space with copies. I'd love to have it built into lightroom as another nondestructive tool with sliders to adjust things like the luminance threshold/curve, size and opacity of the blur to be able to create more stylised filmic images.

Please, add lut support, halation, etc like the 10dollar andoird app "16mm" or like in dehancer... 

Hey, would it be possible to get an option to create bloom and halation effects inside of Lightroom? I'd love to see that feature both in Lightroom Classic and the one that I use on my iPhone as I edited there all my mobile photos.

Then why are you oversharpening in the first place? Two wrongs do not make one right.

It's a way to add naturalness and get rid of the over sharpened digital look. 

Well, some clients want the "film look" sooo just trying to provide them what they want, without having to use film which I feel is a gimmick. (Having shot film for over a decade.) You know, you also don't have to use the feature. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

" Does anyone else want this?"

Not me - I'm utterly baffled by the appeal of adding worse image quality to a picture: at best it's a gimmick, at worst it's a feeble attempt to hide a mediocre image behind a "look".

Well, i have to say that, even if i"m using lightroom all the time, that is something i deeply miss aswell! 

Im always dropping photos in davinci resolve to add real vibes to my photos and it would be amazing to be able to do so without lossing so much time .... 

Dropping in to say, YES, I would love to see these tools inside the Lightroom Classic app

Would absolutely love to see Adobe implement some form of halation into lightroom. I'll probalby eventually end up getting Dehancer but I really think it should be built in. I shouldn't have to pay $200 on top of a subscription I've been paying for years to do a basic thing that can enhance the mood of a photograph. 

Dust and scratches would be a really nice thing to see as some form of slider or generator element. 

Thanks.
