Monochrome Signature C Profile (Final Edit) from Film Edition 4 - Monochrome

Editing Video & Walkthrough:

Lightroom Preset<\/a> collection to date. Built from the ground up, this pack goes far beyond simply desaturating colour — it’s a deep dive into the tonal structures, textures, and grain that made classic monochrome films so powerful.<\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Inside, you’ll find 65 handcrafted black-and-white presets, each one designed to echo the look and feel of iconic stocks like Kodak Tri-X, <a target=\"_blank\" href=https://www.kevinmullinsphotography.co.uk/"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilford_HP/">Ilford HP5+<\/a>, Fuji FP-3000B, Rollei Retro, and many more. This isn’t a generic grayscale conversion — this is monochrome with soul.<\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Supporting these looks is a suite of 15 custom-built base-level monochrome profiles. These aren't surface-level adjustments — they operate at the raw profile level, shaping tone, contrast, and dynamic range before a single slider is touched.<\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">The result? Deep blacks, glowing highlights, and film-inspired tonality that responds naturally to your image and light source.<\/p><h2 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">But there’s more to this pack than just looks<\/h2><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">You also get:<\/p><ul data-rte-list=\"true\"><li><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">The full set of time-saving editing utilities that help keep your workflow fast and fluid.<\/p><\/li><li><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">A comprehensive range of AI-powered tools, built specifically for the latest versions of <a target=\"_blank\" href=https://www.kevinmullinsphotography.co.uk/"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Lightroom/">Lightroom Classic, CC, and Cloud.<\/p><\/li><li><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">And, new in Edition Four, a set of Technical Adjustment Utilities that give you fine-grain control over monochrome tone curves, contrast response, and highlight behaviour.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Whether you're creating timeless portraits, mood-rich street photography, or documentary projects with a classic feel — this is the monochrome toolkit built for the job.<\/p><h2 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Not Just a Desaturation Slider<\/h2><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Every preset and profile in this pack has been hand-built to emulate real black-and-white film stocks, with unique tone curve shaping, custom contrast maps, and carefully designed grain simulations.<\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">These aren’t mass-produced LUTs or repackaged Instagram filters — they’re tools made for photographers who care about subtlety, mood, and photographic history.<\/p><h2 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Film Grain That Feels Right<\/h2><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Many of the looks in this collection include True Film Grain that’s been modelled to reflect how actual black-and-white emulsions behave — whether it’s the sharp, punchy grain of Ilford Delta, or the softer, smokier texture of Kodak Double-X.<\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">The grain isn’t generic or artificially noisy — it’s layered into the image where it belongs, adding texture to mid-tones and character to shadows. And if grain isn’t your thing, no problem — it can be easily removed or softened using the included utilities.<\/p><h2 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Monochrome Profiles That Give You Options<\/h2><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Every custom profile in this pack is designed to give you a clean, stylised foundation — without being locked into a particular look. You can use the profile by itself to get the tonal feel of a specific film stock, or stack a preset on top for a full edit.<\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">It’s the best of both worlds: colour science and tonal shaping at the base level, and creative styling only when you want it.<\/p><h2 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Who This Pack is For<\/h2><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Film Edition Four – Monochrome is made for photographers who want their black-and-white work to carry <strong>depth, intention, and texture<\/strong>.<\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Whether you’re working in portraiture, street, landscape, fine art or documentary, these presets will give your digital images the emotive power and timeless character of real black-and-white film.<\/p><ul data-rte-list=\"true\"><li><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"><strong>Portrait and wedding photographers<\/strong> will appreciate the soft highlight roll-off and flattering skin rendering in the Monochrome Craft series.<\/p><\/li><li><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"><strong>Street and reportage shooters<\/strong> will love the bold contrast, dense shadows and cinematic mood of the True Film and Variant sets.<\/p><\/li><li><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"><strong>Editorial and print-focused photographers<\/strong> will find the base profiles deliver a consistent, high-quality look across diverse lighting and subject matter.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Above all, this pack is for photographers who don’t see black and white as an afterthought — but as a medium all its own.<\/p>","variants":[],"userDefinedVariantOptions":[],"productType":2,"images":[{"title":"","originalSize":"3000x2000","assetUrl":"https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc5b0285bdc72d1aee199d/b6938a9d-d196-4075-91b3-7d4c42947be4/FilmEdition4MonochromeSquare.jpg","mediaFocalPoint":{"x":0.5199999809265137,"y":0.3499999940395355,"source":3}},{"title":"","originalSize":"2500x1406","assetUrl":"https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc5b0285bdc72d1aee199d/f2ff3f3c-afe0-4f59-99a6-a6a0a7bb6a3e/Profile+-+Mono+Signature+20205+C.jpg","mediaFocalPoint":{"x":0.5,"y":0.5,"source":3}},{"title":"","originalSize":"2500x1667","assetUrl":"https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc5b0285bdc72d1aee199d/828db642-e24e-4e4e-a697-6059513c5ba9/Variant+-+Kodak+T-Max+100+V1.jpg","mediaFocalPoint":{"x":0.5,"y":0.5,"source":3}},{"title":"","originalSize":"2500x1875","assetUrl":"https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc5b0285bdc72d1aee199d/04aa26a0-a556-431a-bcdd-ffa5bf44476f/Craft+1-+Iron+Contrast.jpg","mediaFocalPoint":{"x":0.5,"y":0.5,"source":3}},{"title":"","originalSize":"2500x1667","assetUrl":"https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc5b0285bdc72d1aee199d/16133036-4f07-46ce-9f6f-8327c9016be5/Craft+3+-+Iron+Contrast.jpg","mediaFocalPoint":{"x":0.5,"y":0.5,"source":3}},{"title":"","originalSize":"2500x1667","assetUrl":"https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc5b0285bdc72d1aee199d/72130031-d0c4-4632-b930-4d16da6f35c8/Legend+-+Ellen+Mark.jpg","mediaFocalPoint":{"x":0.5,"y":0.5,"source":3}},{"title":"","originalSize":"2500x1667","assetUrl":"https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc5b0285bdc72d1aee199d/a3e639fa-1564-4e67-902d-6b954a4f2acf/Preset+-+Kodak+Double-X+5222+True+Film.jpg","mediaFocalPoint":{"x":0.5,"y":0.5,"source":3}},{"title":"","originalSize":"2500x1875","assetUrl":"https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc5b0285bdc72d1aee199d/2982778e-6106-4d5e-b20f-40a2512fb3f3/Preset+-+Kodak+Tri-X+400+True+Film.jpg","mediaFocalPoint":{"x":0.5,"y":0.5,"source":3}},{"title":"","originalSize":"2500x1667","assetUrl":"https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc5b0285bdc72d1aee199d/7fcbccca-0534-4076-86ca-235bca5a1852/Preset+-+Rollei+Retro+80S+True+Film.jpg","mediaFocalPoint":{"x":0.5,"y":0.5,"source":3}},{"title":"","originalSize":"2500x1875","assetUrl":"https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc5b0285bdc72d1aee199d/681e182e-e0c4-4077-b3d0-1602b9753cda/Profile+-+Mono+Signature+2025+A.jpg","mediaFocalPoint":{"x":0.5,"y":0.5,"source":3}},{"title":"","originalSize":"2500x1875","assetUrl":"https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc5b0285bdc72d1aee199d/67951c08-8c1b-4de5-8509-054efd890bc9/Variant+-+Ferrania+P30+V1.jpg","mediaFocalPoint":{"x":0.5,"y":0.5,"source":3}},{"title":"","originalSize":"1667x2500","assetUrl":"https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc5b0285bdc72d1aee199d/5780152d-1662-4784-8a4e-da77d0f84ee5/Variant+-+Illford+FP4%2B+125+V1.jpg","mediaFocalPoint":{"x":0.5,"y":0.5,"source":3}}],"mainImage":{"title":"Film -
