What Makes Tri-X 400 Film Stock So Special
Get into the analog world of photography with our Tri-X 400 Lightroom Preset! Tri-X 400 is one of the most iconic black and white film stocks out there, known for high contrast, deep blacks, fine grain and versatility. Whether you’re shooting portraits, landscapes or street photography, this film delivers timeless drama. Our Tri-X presets will give you the look of this classic film on your digital photos, so you can get the same black and white mojo without the hassle.
How Black and White Film is Developed
Developing black and white film is a different process altogether from color film development. Black and white film, like Tri-X 400, uses silver halide crystals to create a range of tones and deep blacks. This results in images with a classic gritty texture and a wide dynamic range. Our black and white presets are carefully crafted to mimic this process, to capture the look of Tri-X 400 and bring it into your Lightroom workflow so the final image has the desired look.
Made with a Film Lab
Creating these Tri-X presets wasn’t just a technical exercise; it was a passion project. We partnered with a top film lab to get every detail of the Tri-X 400’s look. Hours were spent perfecting each preset, duplicating the exact tones, contrast and grain of this film stock. The result is a set of Lightroom film emulation presets that give your digital photos the look of Tri-X 400. These presets are designed for Lightroom Classic to enhance your editing workflow and give you that unique look.
Why Choose Presets Over Shooting Film
Why choose Tri-X presets over film? It’s simple: cost and convenience. Shooting film, especially black and white, can be expensive and time consuming. With rising film and development costs, it’s not always a viable option for photographers. And in situations like weddings, digital is more reliable than film. You can review your shots, make adjustments on the fly and get that analog look with our Lightroom film emulation presets. Our Lightroom preset will give you a clean black and white tonal look by increasing clarity for edge definition and integrates with other Photoshop actions to refine images.
Get Analog Black and White Mojo
Tri-X 400 is famous for its drama and moody contrast. Our Tri-X presets amplify those qualities so your photos look like they were shot on this iconic film. They also enhance skin tones in portraits, adding depth to the skin of your subjects. Whether you’re shooting high-key portraits or low-light street scenes, these analog black and white presets work great, a versatile toolset for any photographer looking for a classic look.
