Softened tone curve film recipe using Acros for sophisticated mono shots
Soft Acros
If you enjoy soft tones in your colour photography and want to continue your style into mono, then Soft Acros is for you. With a forgiving tone curve and gentle grain, this is a soft and sophisticated mono recipe for a calm style of monochrome photography.
In this recipe, shadows are lifted to keep the overall quality of the image soft, and to preserve shadow details. You’ll also notice the hint of a tone to the images, with the WC setting used to give a subtle newsprint look.
