M11 Film Profiles
Turn the camera's six user profiles into film looks. Load your profile export, put a film on each frame, adjust if you like, and export a file the camera imports. Everything else in your setup carries over to every profile.
Your file stays in this browser. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Export and import
Export saves a .zip with settings.lcse inside.
Unzip it and copy settings.lcse to the top level of your SD card.
On the camera: Menu › User Profile › Manage Profiles › Import Profiles.
Export settings.lcse
Copy file text
Paste this into a plain-text file named exactly settings.lcse (in TextEdit, use Format › Make Plain Text first).
Keep your original export as a backup. Importing it again restores your old profiles.
What this changes
Film style, with its contrast, sharpness and saturation (saturation for color styles only).
White balance (the camera's Color Temperature steps, 2000–11500 K) and WB Adjustment.
Optionally, exposure compensation, JPG noise reduction and M-ISO. Choose which under “What the looks set”.
Profile names, and which slots the camera lists.
Film styles and JPG noise reduction shape JPEGs only. Set File Format to DNG + JPG in your base so the looks show up in your files.
Good to know
Switch looks under Menu › User Profile, or assign User Profile to a function button for one-press switching.
Each film shows its box speed and where to put the ISO dial. With Box-speed ISO on, a look also stores that speed as M-ISO, which the camera uses when the dial is on M.
With exposure compensation on, switching to a look resets it to that look's value. Leave it off to keep your own.
Many M11 bodies render slightly magenta. The magenta fix puts a WB Adjustment correction under every color look (your own, or about 15 steps toward green, the amount owners commonly use), and each film's nudge is added on top. Bodies vary, so check a gray card if you can.
Grain and halation aren't possible on this camera. Lower JPG noise reduction keeps more fine texture, which is the closest it gets.
This tool only builds a settings file you import yourself — it never connects to, writes to, or updates your camera's firmware. Everything runs in your browser. Use at your own risk; always keep your own profile export as a backup.
Built and tested with M11 exports from firmware 2.6.4 (settings version 3185).
