Bring rich, timeless analog depth to your digital workflow. Filmic Monochrome is a professional collection of black-and-white Lightroom presets and custom profiles designed specifically for street, editorial, and documentary photography.

Beyond Basic Sliders: Custom Profiles

Most standard black-and-white presets rely on heavy desaturation and crushed blacks, often muddying midtones or losing shadow detail entirely. Filmic Monochrome goes deeper. Built on custom profiles and bespoke monochrome color science, these files process the underlying data of your RAW files before your slider adjustments even begin. This preserves subtle atmospheric haze, protects highlights, and delivers deep urban contrast with total control over shadow roll-off.

  • Non-destructive tonal mapping that retains 100% of your slider flexibility

  • Advanced raw rendering for rich shadow separation and clean highlight protection

  • Instant desktop synchronization for a fast, seamless workflow

What’s Included

  • 4 Custom Monochrome Profiles: Advanced profile architecture calibrated for rich silver-halide tones, high contrast, and fine grain structures

  • Core Tonal Presets: One-click foundations tuned for low-light, harsh daylight, and studio environments

  • Grain & Curve Modifiers: Fine-tune shadow depth, highlight roll-off, and analog film grain instantly

  • Step-by-Step Installation Guide: Instant PDF walkthrough for quick setup

Inside the Collection: Profile Breakdown

  • 01 / Asphalt Standard: The core flagship profile. Engineered as a universal urban baseline with steel-blue shadow contrast, rich brick tones, and controlled taxi yellows for all-purpose street photography.

  • 02 / High Line Steel: Delivers cool cyan shadows, clean metallic midtones, and crisp contrast. Designed for glass, steel architecture, and daylight street photography.

  • 03 / Nocturne 48: Engineered specifically for low-light, dusk, and night scenes. Separates neon highlights from deep shadows while preserving natural streetlamp warmth without color clipping.

  • 04 / Soho Matte: Features lifted charcoal shadows, muted color saturation, and a subtle filmic haze. Ideal for moody editorial portraits, overcast urban days, and gritty street scenes.

Compatibility & Requirements

Fully compatible with Adobe Lightroom Classic (v7.3 or newer), Lightroom Desktop, Lightroom Mobile (imported via desktop), and Adobe Camera Raw (ACR). Optimized for RAW files across all major camera brands, including Leica, Canon, Sony, Fujifilm, and Nikon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these work with Lightroom Classic?

Yes. These presets and profiles are built specifically for Adobe Lightroom Classic (v7.3 and newer), Lightroom Desktop, and Adobe Camera Raw.

What is the difference between a preset and a profile?

A preset changes your visible editing sliders. A profile processes the actual tonal and color data at the raw rendering level, giving you a superior, natural-looking foundation without locking or cluttering your manual sliders.

Will these work with my camera?

Yes. Filmic Monochrome is designed to work seamlessly across all major camera brands and sensor types.

How do I install the profiles after purchase?

Upon purchase, you will receive an instant download link containing the profile files (.xmp format), presets, and a step-by-step PDF installation guide that gets you set up in minutes.
