The KB B&W Presets
We use black & white presets to deepen the emotion of a photo. It might look beautiful in color, but when edited with a specific black & white preset, it can go from beautiful to incredible.
Whether you edit every photo in black & white along with color or you’re selective with your editing choices, we all know how emotive and strong a black & white photo can be.
From soft and hazy to strong and bright to polaroid-esque, each of these presets brings something different to the table.
They can be adjusted to your liking - from exposure and contrast to grain and color grading. These are the perfect addition to your editing flow if you’re looking to add more variety to your galleries.
