How can I replicate LR toning presets to photos in RT--or some other free program?

Processing

Although I used them on very few of my photos, I used to enjoy playing around with toning presets like Cyanotype, Sepia, and especially Old Polar, in LR. Is there a free program that offers something along these lines for RAW files, or even TIFFs and JPGs?

Alternatively, can someone direct me to processing formulae that will yield the same effects?

Thanks,
Kevin

darktable, gmic, and RawTherapee all share the same film emulation LUT pack, which includes quite a few of these effects.

In darktable, its the 3D LUT module, in RawTherapee its the Film Emulation feature, and in gmic I also believe its the film emulation section.

As mentioned you can use colour lookup tables (LUTs) to emulate the colours (and to some degree the light) of film. I use the LUTs provided by RawTherapee, and Iā€™m very happy with the result:

You can see my few submissions on this forum.

Important: If you are using Darktable I strongly recommend moving the LUT module to a position AFTER Filmic RGB (or Basecurve if you use a legacy workflow), but BEFORE the output profile module.
