Watch the original video

Kodak Tri-X, digitized - punchy mids, dense shadow tones, an orange-filter sky and honest grain. A B&W all-rounder built on the standard Monotone.

From the creator

Developed side by side against a real roll of Kodak Tri-X - he walks the comparison in the video, and the final settings card lands on screen at 14:26. His custom filter mix leans orange; on a GR III/IIIx the built-in orange filter effect is the closest stand-in.

Camera compatibility

Created on the GR IV - the same settings work on the GR III and GR IIIx, and the warmth difference between bodies doesn't show in monotone. Grain size/intensity is a GR IV control - on older bodies use the closest single-scale grain level. The custom filter mix is GR IV-only too - pick the closest built-in filter effect.
