About
New Black is a study in illusions – monochrome that isn’t quite monochrome, memories that feel like fakes, and colors hiding behind grayscale masks. These presets explore what happens when film fades, when light softens, and when colors pretend to disappear. You'll find grain, glow, and muted warmth designed to evoke emotional memory rather than realism. Perfect for portraits, nostalgic storytelling, or moody edits with character.

The story
© grigoryepremyan
New Black isn’t about shades of grey, it’s about what’s between the colors.
Like old photos buried in your phone, too sentimental to delete. Like a black-and-white image that still somehow bleeds red or green.
It’s memory distorted by time, and light reshaped by feeling. This is fake monochrome, filtered nostalgia, and cinematic fiction. These presets remember more than you do.
Memory Warm: A warm, yellow-tinted fade with subtle vintage softness. Feels like opening an old book from your childhood.
35mm: Classic film look with visible grain and a lifted black curve. Has a soft vignette and matte finish like true analog scans.
Archive: Neutral black-and-white with medium contrast. Mimics old digital archives or forgotten camera rolls.
Imposter: Looks black-and-white, but isn’t. Hides subtle reds, greens, or yellows like a visual trick.
Cleaning: Faint purple with golden highlights and soft glow. Feels like light after cleaning glass, crisp, dreamy, and fresh.
Yellow Press: A deceptive yellow-green tone that shifts depending on light. Is it cold yellow or faded green? You’ll never know.
Old Sun: A modern sepia twist — warm, slightly burnt, gently moody. Nostalgia without the cliché.
Green: Deep greens, sometimes mixed with blue or yellow in the highlights. Earthy, strange, cinematic.
Blue Jeans / Warm Blue: Two versions (of the preset): one is flat denim-like blue, the other mixes blue shadows with warm golden lights. Use depending on your mood — calm or conflicted.
