Acros recipes

Acros recreates Neopan Acros 100, Fujifilm's finest-grain black and white film, and it's more than a desaturated Monochrome: the simulation has its own tone curve with deep, held blacks, luminous midtones, and a highlight roll-off that keeps skies from blowing to paper white. Its grain is also modeled differently: texture increases naturally with ISO, the way film's did.

Like shooting film with glass filters, Acros comes in +Yellow, +Red and +Green variants: yellow deepens skies gently, red turns them dramatic and lightens skin, green does the opposite, darkening lips and skin tones for character portraits.

Acros recipes are the community's monochrome workhorses: typically strong grain and firm shadow tone for classic reportage looks, or lifted shadows with the yellow filter for softer, brighter street frames.
