Black
& White Studio
controls |
This
is the Black and White Studio plug-ins control panel at one third
size. 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.
Print = Multigrade, exposure, contrast, etc.
Zones = Three selectable and adjustable zones.

Example
-
The plug-ins T400CN filter |
|
The
plugin has algorithms to convert colors to black & white with
the light-sensitivity of professional films.
It has the most popular films from Kodak, Ilford and Agfa. |
