No colour. All character.
Classic 400-speed black & white film shaped how we picture the street, the portrait and the decisive moment: deep blacks, glowing highlights and grain you can feel.
Clicking "black & white" in an app gives you a flat, grey picture. Silver 400 builds a real monochrome: it mixes the colour channels like a yellow or red filter would, darkens skies, keeps skin bright, sets a film-like S-curve and adds grain that looks like silver, not digital noise.
Hard light is its playground. Strong sun, long shadows, rain and window light give the most dramatic results.

10 presets, one silver film
Every preset is built on the same black & white film base, so a whole street series or wedding story stays consistent.
- 400 Signature – The signature look: rich blacks, silvery highlights and classic film grain.
- Street – Contrasty and gritty for street photography in hard light.
- Pushed 1600 – Pushed film: deep blacks, bright whites and big grain for low light.
- Soft Portrait – Smooth skin and gentle contrast for portraits and weddings.
- Fine Grain 100 – A clean, sharp, nearly grainless look for architecture and landscapes.
- Red Filter – Darkens skies dramatically, like shooting through a red filter.
- Matte – Lifted blacks and soft highlights for a modern, faded monochrome.
- Selenium – A cool, deep tone inspired by selenium-toned darkroom prints.
- Sepia – A warm, brown-toned print for a timeless, antique feel.
- Infrared – Glowing white foliage and dark skies inspired by infrared film.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a paid Adobe subscription?
No. The mobile presets work in the free Lightroom Mobile app on iPhone and Android. If you edit on a computer, the desktop presets work in Lightroom Classic and Lightroom CC.
How will I get the presets?
Right after payment you can download all presets, together with a PDF with step-by-step instructions for installing them on your phone and on your computer.
Is this a copy of Tri-X or HP5?
Silver 400 is our own modern take on the look of classic 400-speed black & white films such as Kodak Tri-X and Ilford HP5. It is not a scientific film emulation and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Kodak or Ilford. Kodak, Tri-X, Ilford and HP5 are trademarks of their owners.
Why not just use the black & white button?
The button only removes colour. Silver 400 decides how each colour turns into grey (like a lens filter), shapes the contrast with a film curve and adds a fine, film-like grain, so skies, skin and shadows each get the right tone.
What kind of photos work best?
Photos with strong light and shadow: street scenes, rain, window-light portraits and harbours. For gentle portraits and weddings try Soft Portrait; for a warm antique print, Sepia.
Will my photos look exactly like the examples?
Every photo is different (light, colours, exposure), so think of a preset as the starting point. Usually a small tweak of exposure or white balance is all it takes to match the look.
What if the presets don't suit my photos?
Send us an unedited photo and we'll personally adjust the presets for you. And if you're still not happy, you get your money back within 30 days.
Free preset updates forever?
Yes. Every new preset we add to Silver 400 is yours to download for free, for a lifetime. Free updates are available only for purchases made on BrilliantPresets.com (this page), not on other marketplaces.
