Atarangi Mono, for Deep Tone Retro B&W

A moody monochrome film recipe, using Acros simulation and strong grain

Atarangi Mono Film Recipe

Atarangi Mono

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.

    When I use your recipe, I found that on camera it seems much cooler than the images here. I really like the slight brown tone to the pictures, any suggestions?

      Thanks for the comment. I can see when trying this myself on a few RAW files, that the 3, 0 setting for the Monochromatic Color doesn’t seem as cosy as the images on the page here. I will dig out the orginial images on backup to confirm but an adjustment to 5, 0 seems to get back to much closer to the samples. Please try that and see if it’s more as you hoped.
