Black & White Film Effect

Black and white film emulation recreates the tonal response, contrast, and luminance separation of classic monochrome film stocks. Instead of only removing color, it remaps the image through B&W film LUTs for a more photographic result.

This effect includes LUTs for Agfa Scala 200, Ilford Delta 100, Ilford Delta 400, Ilford Delta 3200, Ilford FP4, Ilford HP5, and Kodak Tri-X 200.

Ilford looks usually feel smoother and more controlled, which works well for portraits, fine art, and editorial images. Kodak Tri-X is punchier and more documentary, with a stronger street photography and photojournalism feel.

Yes. Black & White Film converts color photos and videos to monochrome while applying the tonal curve and contrast response of the selected film LUT.

No. A basic grayscale filter usually desaturates the image. This effect uses monochrome film LUTs, so different colors and brightness ranges can shift into black and white with a more intentional photographic tone.

Yes. The Amount control lets you adjust filter intensity and contrast, so you can keep the look subtle or push it into a more dramatic black and white grade.

Ilford Delta 3200 is a high-speed black and white film associated with low-light photography, dramatic contrast, and gritty documentary aesthetics. In this effect, its LUT is useful for bold shadows and film noir style edits.

Yes. Use high-contrast B&W LUTs like Ilford Delta 3200 or Kodak Tri-X 200, then increase the Amount control for deeper shadows and a stronger cinematic black and white look.
