This Photoshop plugin turns Photoshop into a digital darkroom for black and white. Use the light sensitivity of films (Tri-X, etc) for exact grayscale conversion and contrast editing. Multigrade, exposure stops and colored lens-filters have been EXACTLY copied in this digital darkroom. Our plugin photo software takes digital black and white photography to new levels and leaves nothing of the old darkroom behind. Also for color photos!

Actually the plugin has so many filter options, that we had to arrange them on two "pages" in the win version and on three in the Mac version You change "page" with a click.

The plugin has four groups of filter-controls:
Lens-filters = Colored lensfilters, like yellow, orange, etc.
Film = Film spectral sensitivity w. preset films.
