But when you're instead just wasting time to recreate the effect that's already there, it invalidates the argument. The whole point of film simulations is to lock down those flexibilities that we enjoy today to a specific set of values that people shooting film had imposed on them in the past, for a specific look. If you need to post process the picture before applying the film simulation then you've completely missed the point IMO, and you're at best shooting 'fakros'.
