Character and mood
Silence Black and White takes colour away, but not the pack's softness. It's a true black and white conversion, not a desaturated colour image, with calm, soft greys.
What the preset does to your photo: the mono mix deliberately keeps contrast low, without hard blacks or bright lights. A fine grain sits on top that keeps the image soft rather than graphic.
The look suits portraits, interiors and still life where you want calm and simply don't need colour anymore.
Choose Silence Black and White when colour distracts too much from what you want to show. Wanting that calm with colour intact, Whisper Grey from this pack is the colour version of the same idea.
Installation
Lightroom Classic & CC (desktop)
Unzip the downloaded file on your computer. Open Lightroom Classic and go to the Develop module. Right-click the Presets panel, choose 'Import Presets', and select the .xmp file. The preset appears in your list immediately and can be applied to any photo straight away.
Lightroom Mobile
Lightroom Mobile syncs presets via the cloud. Import the .xmp file into Lightroom CC on your desktop first. Once cloud sync completes, the preset is automatically available on your phone or tablet. An Adobe CC subscription is required for this sync feature.
Capture One
Unzip the file. Open Capture One and navigate to the Styles panel. Click the arrow next to 'Styles' and choose 'Import Style'. Select the .costyle file. The style is available in your library immediately. Works with Capture One version 21 and later.
DaVinci Resolve / Premiere Pro (3D LUT)
Copy the .cube file to your application's LUT folder. In DaVinci Resolve via Project Settings → Color Management → LUT folders. In Premiere Pro via the Lumetri Color panel → Creative tab → Look → Browse. The LUT works on both LOG and standard exposed video footage.
