Film Edition Four – Monochrome is my most refined and expressive black-and-white Lightroom Preset collection to date. Built from the ground up, this pack goes far beyond simply desaturating colour — it’s a deep dive into the tonal structures, textures, and grain that made classic monochrome films so powerful.
Inside, you’ll find 65 handcrafted black-and-white presets, each one designed to echo the look and feel of iconic stocks like Kodak Tri-X, Ilford HP5+, Fuji FP-3000B, Rollei Retro, and many more. This isn’t a generic grayscale conversion — this is monochrome with soul.
Supporting these looks is a suite of 15 custom-built base-level monochrome profiles. These aren't surface-level adjustments — they operate at the raw profile level, shaping tone, contrast, and dynamic range before a single slider is touched.
The result? Deep blacks, glowing highlights, and film-inspired tonality that responds naturally to your image and light source.
But there’s more to this pack than just looks
You also get:
The full set of time-saving editing utilities that help keep your workflow fast and fluid.
A comprehensive range of AI-powered tools, built specifically for the latest versions of Lightroom Classic, CC, and Cloud.
And, new in Edition Four, a set of Technical Adjustment Utilities that give you fine-grain control over monochrome tone curves, contrast response, and highlight behaviour.
Whether you're creating timeless portraits, mood-rich street photography, or documentary projects with a classic feel — this is the monochrome toolkit built for the job.
Not Just a Desaturation Slider
Every preset and profile in this pack has been hand-built to emulate real black-and-white film stocks, with unique tone curve shaping, custom contrast maps, and carefully designed grain simulations.
These aren’t mass-produced LUTs or repackaged Instagram filters — they’re tools made for photographers who care about subtlety, mood, and photographic history.
Film Grain That Feels Right
Many of the looks in this collection include True Film Grain that’s been modelled to reflect how actual black-and-white emulsions behave — whether it’s the sharp, punchy grain of Ilford Delta, or the softer, smokier texture of Kodak Double-X.
The grain isn’t generic or artificially noisy — it’s layered into the image where it belongs, adding texture to mid-tones and character to shadows. And if grain isn’t your thing, no problem — it can be easily removed or softened using the included utilities.
Monochrome Profiles That Give You Options
Every custom profile in this pack is designed to give you a clean, stylised foundation — without being locked into a particular look. You can use the profile by itself to get the tonal feel of a specific film stock, or stack a preset on top for a full edit.
It’s the best of both worlds: colour science and tonal shaping at the base level, and creative styling only when you want it.
Who This Pack is For
Film Edition Four – Monochrome is made for photographers who want their black-and-white work to carry depth, intention, and texture.
Whether you’re working in portraiture, street, landscape, fine art or documentary, these presets will give your digital images the emotive power and timeless character of real black-and-white film.
Portrait and wedding photographers will appreciate the soft highlight roll-off and flattering skin rendering in the Monochrome Craft series.
Street and reportage shooters will love the bold contrast, dense shadows and cinematic mood of the True Film and Variant sets.
Editorial and print-focused photographers will find the base profiles deliver a consistent, high-quality look across diverse lighting and subject matter.
Above all, this pack is for photographers who don’t see black and white as an afterthought — but as a medium all its own.
