JAPANESE GRADIENTS [ FOR UI ]™

(／◕ヮ◕)／ ░▒▓ ＼(◕ヮ◕＼)

THE ULTIMATE RESOURCE FOR ALL JAPANESE COLOURS AND GRADIENTS LIKE NEVER BEFORE!

Also, thanks to BlueSky, I stumbled upon @nuevotokyo.bsky.social ‘s excellent AgBr app for B&W processing and absolutely love it. Love stumbling upon and supporting random indie devs making cool shit

GRACIAS! 50% of the credit to @heliographe.studio !

With AgBr, we are committed to continuing our support for the photography community, bringing greater authenticity and deeper customisation to your photographs. With many updates coming over the next few months, stay tuned — we can’t wait to share more with you.

It is a very bright moment for digital monochrome photography. Ricoh’s long-awaited release of the GR with a monochrome sensor makes true black-and-white capture more accessible, allowing more people to experience the difference of genuine, in-camera B&W images.

AgBr V1.2 — May 31st

AgBr is a black & white film emulator we made as a tool for life — something simple, honest, and built to last. It’s a single app that works seamlessly across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, so you can use it wherever you’re working — on the go or in the studio — without needing separate versions.

AgBr.app v1.1 is now live!

This first content update brings a new film emulation: Aiko Lightpan SS 100, an obscure 90's Japanese film meticulously researched by @nuevotokyo.bsky.social

We also improved our grain rendering in this update - expired film stocks particularly benefit from it.

AgBr.app B&W Film Emulator [ iPhone + iPad + Mac ]

The most exciting feature of the Fujifilm Half could be its "film" advance crank, possibly cocking the shutter like the old Epson R-D1 (though it may use a leaf shutter). Even if it's just a gimmick, like the Leica M10-D, it’s thrilling to see this feature return to a digital camera.

COMING WEDNESDAY!
