Warm-toned black and white: a soft sepia print feel
A black and white mix that lifts skin, then a sepia tone through the shadows and highlights over clean blacks, like a toned print.
True to cameraBlack & white warm toned
Drag to compare. Left of the line is True to camera, the plainest look; right of it is Black & white warm toned at full strength, rendered from the same file.
| What it does | Monochrome toned sepia through shadows and highlights, clean blacks |
|---|---|
| Good for | Heritage portraits, ceremony details, album covers |
When we'd reach for it
Family and heritage portraits, ceremony details, older venues, anniversary sessions and album covers.
When we wouldn't
Modern minimal work, where the warm tone reads as old-fashioned.
The recipe
These are the settings stored in the look, drawn rather than listed. They sit on top of your camera's own colour and the exposure and white balance CullTone sets for each photo, so the same look lands a little differently on every frame.
Every look has a strength from 0 to 1.5. At 0 you get the plain camera-matched edit, at 1 the look as drawn here, and above 1 more of everything it does. More on reading curves in tone curves for photographers.
