Silverton Sharp, Metallic Mono with a Crisp Finish

Acros film simulation recipe for X100V and X100VI cameras

It’s been a little while since I published a new mono recipe, so I wanted to set that straight with a new look for black and white photographers to try. It’s something a little different, but I hope that you’ll enjoy it.

The original thought goes back some time to a film recipe that I added as no. 99 on this site, called Silvertone 99. I received a comment about this recipe, a challenge almost, and that was to see if this recipe could be made even more silver?

I thought about this for a while and eventually had a moment of inspiration in X RAW Studio which led to this new interpretation of a silvery look.

In this film recipe, the tone is less contrasty than Silvertone 99, and has a different take on a metallic silver tone. I also found that a little crispness added further interest, so this recipe has a positive clarity setting. This does cause a short saving delay, which if you find annoying, you can remove with clarity at zero. Instead, increase sharpness to +2 as an alternative.
