What I love about these LightRoom presets is my Fav film emulsions work straight from the Raw files.
And only cost me £13.00

Over the coming weeks, I will update this Blog to include more examples of my photography using more of these awesome presets.

XeL: Black and White is a massive collection of over 300 presets, consisting of:
  • Antiquated process emulations
  • Over 50 classic film emulations
  • A selection of digital color filters, emulating the use of filters in film photography.
  • A full range of presets simulating variable contrast paper effects
  • A selection of toning presets, to add that special touch.
  • Solarization, custom tone curves, basic B&W color mixes, and ND filters
  • Special graphic arts effects, including 2-Tone and Reduced Tone images.
Unlike other black and white toolkits, XeL:Black and White is not a stand alone application or a plug-in, but rather a collection of finely tuned presets that support a completely nondestructive workflow, while retaining all the benefits and flexibility of working in RAW.
