I use LightRoom to process my RAW files but I'm pretty vanilla - I usually just tweak a few things around exposure and that's it. I'd like to use more of the film simulators on my XT-1 but I don't want my "originals" to have this filter effect. Is it possible to apply them after in post, or to shoot with film simulation on but then extract the non-film effect in post?
How many books can I borrow at the one time?

Most economical way to make espresso drinks at home without buying a huge and expensive coffee machine? I also get free freshly ground coffee beans from my neighbor's cafe!Advice Needed ✋
My neighbor offered me free freshly ground coffee beans at the start of every week (he owns a small cafe nearby). That made me realize I could save on the ~$35 or so I spend on espresso drinks every morning if I maybe bought my own espresso machine. I prefer lattes but not fussy. Does anyone have any advice for which espresso maker to go with? Thanks
