Next stop on the Ilford train is XP2 Super. Ilford color processing black and white. Designed to be developed in regular C-41 chemicals at any mini lab. A decent film, much like Kodak’s BW CN in many ways. Not exactly my cup of tea, but a good film for B&W shots when you don’t have your chemical lab running.

Enjoy,
Michael

Presenting my next film. Nothing fancy this time, just another discontinued Kodak film. Portra BW was part of Kodaks original Portra line, and was discontinued with the recent revamp of the Portra line. Portra BW was replace with Kodak BW CN.

Not much to say about this film. Used it once, not overly impressed, but that could have been as much due to my lack of photography skills. But anyways I wanted to rescue it’s tones from death.

Tonight I am proud to present my first film simulation preset that I am premiering on my blog. Tonight I am giving the world my simulation of Kodak BW CN.

I have attempted to get the tone and scale of the original film as accurate as possible. Obviously we cannot yet simulate grain in Lightroom, and that is the biggest problem I have with the preset (and all my film style presets).

Have fun with it and I will further expand this post in the next day.

Until Next Time,
Michael
