Richard K Posted November 1, 2022 Share #1 Posted November 1, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) What do you use to post process your Q2M or M10 Monochrom files? Looking to produce nice warm tone images. Thanks. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 Hi Richard K, Take a look here Software for Native Monochrome. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Anakronox Posted November 1, 2022 Share #2 Posted November 1, 2022 Lightroom Classic. I have my own import preset for it. I’m beginning to prefer Capture One, but haven’t quite developed a preset for it that matches the look I’m after. It’s possible with any software to get a “warm” look; it’s a matter of you taking the time to experiment. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted November 1, 2022 Share #3 Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) Silver Efex Pro is the standard, part of the 'Nik Collection' now sold by DxO Labs. You get a vast array of editing options like selective dodging and burning, image borders, etc. dedicated to B&W and customisable colour settings including duo-tone. You need to set ACR output for Tiff/RGB to edit the image in Silver Efex. Also within Nik Collection are Color Efex which is a very useful editing package in itself, together with a neat quick editing programme called Viveza and a couple of analogue film rendering programmes that can add random dust or scratches but I think these are aimed at the Lomo crowd.

luetz Posted November 5, 2022 Share #4 Posted November 5, 2022 Adobe LR Classic 12.1 offers many pre-sets of which I have my favourites. Start with Adobe Monochrome and browse from there... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkmc Posted December 5, 2022 Share #5 Posted December 5, 2022 I use Capture One, which offers a great deal of latitude in things like dodging and burning, masking, etc. Since you can create layers for each adjustment, it's a lot easier than some software. I treat my Q2M file editing almost like working in a darkroom (which I haven't done for decades), there's a lot less to do because there's no color, but there's a lot more you can do with these files in terms of adjustments to light and dark. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfs head Posted December 5, 2022 Share #6 Posted December 5, 2022 Another vote for Silver Efex Pro! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 5, 2022 Share #7 Posted December 5, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Capture One Pro for sure — using the linear profile, which best preserves the M10 Monochromes tonality and more control over shadows and highlights Example from last Friday: I started in Lightroom and gave up in despair. In Capture One, opened the images, linear profile, pulling back highlights -40: Done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
