Dan do you know which PP apps apply sim alterations and which don't. FWIW I do most of my post processing in DxO.

I think we need to define 'sim alterations'. I'm not sure any raw converter will apply any in camera setting adjustments to a film profile. Example, -- adding grain size, increasing saturation (color), chrome effect, highlight or shadow adjustments, etc? AFAIK only WB and DR adjustments have an impact on the raw file. Maybe in Fuji's own converter though (XRaw studio)?

I’ve seen them listed, but I’m afraid I don’t recall the details. I know that my Adobe apps do apply them… and also include Adobe versions of them that I could freely select from in ACR.
