Of course the second I create a topic here, I stumble across a potential solution in Capture One.

Apparently a "Cultural Heritage" version of Capture One supports film positive and negative processing. While those functions aren't officially supported by the regular commercial version, according to 3 year old Capture One forum post the hidden functions can be called by inserting certain lines into custom styles:

If you want to have this enabled on your style you can add the following line in your text editor to the end of the style.

<E K="TechnicalProcessingMethod" V="2"/>

V=1 is B&W
V=2 is Colour
V=3 is Slide Film

Also a flip function exists too:

<E K="Flip" V="1"/>

V=1 is Mirror on Horizontal
V=2 is Mirror on Vertical

Having quickly tried this, it appears to be working.

Annoying that Capture One don't make this available in the regular version out of the box, but what a genius hack!

LOL, I heard people calling darktable is for nerds, but this is even nerdier
