Pretty sure it's just filter - possible to create your own profile for Classic Neg. in Lightroom / CaptureOne Pro?

It is not a filter. It's such a deep science of color that you can't even replicate it in an edit program.

That isn't exactly true. The author of that article said it can't be done in Photoshop. Agreed. However Capture One and Lightroom both apply the film sims to RAW files, and do a pretty good job at it. I'll admit that sometimes I like the look of the JPEGs better but I can get pretty close with Capture One. Fuji has obviously worked with both. I don't know the in and outs of the film profiles in software but its more than a filter.

You're wrong. Notice what they say at the end of the article:

Of course, you may find that you like the look of the film sims in ACR or Capture One, and that’s perfectly OK. But workflows that don't involve the camera's processor are going to result in different looks than you'll get straight from the camera. As I said, you might actually prefer the renderings in Photoshop, Capture One, Silkypix or whatever to the camera's own output, but you need to be aware that the two are different; often very different.

Bottom line, while various RAW processing programs may appear to offer the same film simulation options as found in Fujifilm cameras, the only way to reproduce what the camera is actually doing is to use the camera’s processor itself, whether in-camera or through Fuji's X-RAW STUDIO.
