I know you can choose to upsize in export. Is that what you are talking about?

Yes.

So, if I never upscale on export my grain won’t look too bad.

Is this a good example of the halation you are talking about?

I’m looking at like the red around the headlight reflection in the street.

I think that works pretty well, I wrote an old blog post when I was trying to figure out how to emulate halation in darktable Darktable: Emulate Film Halation
