Dehancer alternative · Browser-based film simulation

Film looks without
the plugin host.

Dehancer's film stock emulation is excellent — but it needs a plugin host like Lightroom or Premiere, sold separately per platform. Luttie does film grain, halation, and bloom natively in the browser, with LUT export built in.

Where Dehancer needs more setup.

Dehancer is a plugin. Luttie is a tab.

Requires a plugin host

Dehancer doesn't run standalone — you need Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, or Final Cut installed, and the Premiere/After Effects versions are sold separately.

Limited RAW video support

Dehancer doesn't work on RAW video formats directly, and there's no browser-based RAW decoding — you're dependent on whatever your host app supports.

No browser version

There's no way to use Dehancer without installing software first. Luttie runs entirely in the browser, including RAW photo decoding and LUT export.
