Modern Monochrome

I developed this simulation to have the feel of 35mm black and white film such as Kodak TX400. It is high contrast when you bump up the exposure compensation. You can usually retain high key detail in most scenarios. On a cloudy day you will get decent contrast and in bright daylight this simulation will pop. I find this simulation particularly useful to shoot in mixed light and low light scenarios.
