Film Simulation<br />

Monochrome<br />

<br />

Monochrome(Normal)<br />

Monochrome + Yellow filter<br />

Although is the basic black-and-white film<br />

simulation option, the grays of the asphalt and the<br />

washed-out, neutral tones with reduced contrast<br />

in the background give the illusion of an actual<br />

photographic print on Baryta paper.<br />

If I’d been asked what filter I was using back in the<br />

days when the default photographic film was blackand-white,<br />

I would have answered that I usually<br />

used a yellow filter for slightly higher contrast and<br />

firmer blacks. The circle at the center of this light<br />

fixture and the slightly underexposed areas in the<br />

corners provide deeper tones that look as though<br />

they were burned in using darkroom techniques.<br />

Monochrome + Red filter<br />

Monochrome + Green filter<br />

Red filters are effective in increasing the density<br />

of blue skies and making white clouds stand out.<br />

Although their deep color, which made it difficult to<br />

see shadows when looking through the viewfinder,<br />

was once a drawback, nowadays film simulations<br />

are not displayed in color and photographers are<br />

free take advantage of the high contrast that red<br />

filters can provide.<br />

Green filters capture the skin and lips of portrait<br />

subjects in limpid shades, making portrait<br />

photography and shots of wooden items one<br />

of their basic uses, but they are also put to<br />

work surprisingly frequently in landscape shots<br />

featuring abundant green foliage. In the case of<br />

portraits, film simulation bracketing using ASTIA,<br />

MONOCHROME + G FILTER, and PRO Neg. Std<br />

can produce interesting results.<br />
