malbooth Posted March 24, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 24, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, Apologies if this is a dumb/naive/inappropriate request, but I am wondering whether any of you know of decent (preferably free) monochrome presets for Lightroom that can be used with SL2 files. I used to use Silver Efex Pro 2 as part of the Nik Collection, but I can't use that now on my iMac. Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

idusidusi Posted March 24, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 24, 2022 You could try these but they are not free but they are good! Look under Film and Digital emulations: Cobalt-image 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleBe Posted March 24, 2022 Share #3 Posted March 24, 2022 There is the option to go to legacy presets and than you can choose embedded or embedded b/w. Maybe this is a good first starting point? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikie John Posted March 26, 2022 Share #4 Posted March 26, 2022 If you are reasonably up to date with Lightroom, there is quite a selection of B&W "profiles". In the Profile pulldown of the Develop panel, select Browse and scroll down to B&W. You should find a selection of profiles which give quite a variety of different looks. It may not be exactly what you want, but you might find something there that gives you a good starting point. And since it's already there, it's free!

250swb Posted March 26, 2022 Share #5 Posted March 26, 2022 Are you sure Nik Suite can't be used on your iMac? You may have to buy it again but there is support for the latest versions https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/uk/news/dxo-nik-collection-42-update-brings-mac-m1-support-and-speeds-up-silver-efex-pro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
