Nostalgic, soft tone and vintage film recipes using Fujifilm film simulations
Atarangi Mono, for Deep Tone Retro B&W
A moody monochrome film recipe, using Acros simulation and strong grain
Atarangi – shade, shadow. Here’s a mono film simulation with strong grain and deep shadows from underexposure. It produces very moody images, which also have a subtlety to them with a soft tone curve.
As with all of my mono recipes, there is a color tint giving grey-brown tones for a retro nostalgic look, but you can skip this if you prefer a pure mono image.
