I predict the software to make digital look like film will fall out of
fashion fast. And be looked back upon as a mistake.
I think film does a lot better job at looking like film does than digital
does and if I was that focused on the film look I'd just shoot film. I
frankly find the "look" of digital far from objectionable and if I didn't
like it I'd not shoot with it.
But I basically have a hard time telling them apart. The main way I know is
the paper sizes are different.  16x20s vs 13x19's.
