Comparing B&W film simulations

I’ve been working on a new Black and White film simulation, so I figured I’d ask the crowd’s opinion: which one do you like best?

  1. The Left (yellow) one has less highlights and more Grey information (subtle but present)
    the right(white) has little more contrast as highlights are “higher”

    both of my liking but the Yellow one is my choice now

    1. Thanks Ricardo! I’ll probably end up using both, but right now I’ve been preferring the colored recipe a little more than my standard one (on the right).

  2. I’ll go with my first reaction: The cooler BnW. I prefer my black and whites to be stronger and contrasty and less warm in tone. However, I’m not averse to a warm black and white. But I would say 7 out 10 times I would choose a cooler black and white.

  3. From the three photos I see I like the second. The third is too dark for this subject but then again another subject might look better.

      1. 🙂 But when I read the article with Android app it shows three. Have to check it with browser, I guess.

      2. Okay, now I only saw two when I read it with browser. I like the left when it comes to the lightness of the shadows but the right when it comes to the color. But overall the left looks good anyway.

  4. Decididamente prefiro o look da primeira. Creio que o B&W beneficia de algum toning, esse é um belo exemplo.
