Take a step back in time with Quest 34 Collodion, a black and white preset collection that emulates wet plate collodion tintype photography. Popular during the mid-19th century, tintypes involve coating a metal plate with collodion, sensitizing it with silver nitrate, exposing it in a camera, and developing the image using various chemicals. The result is the celebrated and distinctive look featuring matte highlights, high contrast, heavy vignetting, and variations in black and white tone ranging from neutral to yellowed and sepia.
Collodion 01 - Black and white preset emulating wet plate collodion process with subtle sepia toning, soft matte highlights, high contrast, deep shadows, and mask layers that soften the background, add contrast to the skin of your subject, as well as an effect to give eyes the ghostly appearance typical of tintype photography.
Collodion 02 - Variation with darker background mask, boost in warm sepia shadows
Collodion 03 - Variation with neutral tones, crisp highlights, vignetting, and added skin texture
Collodion 04 - Variation with sepia tones, vignetting, and crisp highlights
Wet Plate I Profile - Decrease profile to add bright airiness and more neutral toning, increase profile for sepia and ochre tones and dramatic moodiness with deepened shadows and muted highlights
Wet Plate II Profile - Decrease profile for muted dynamics, low contrast, and less vignetting, increase profile for added vignetting and higher contrast
Quest 34 Collodion also includes other tintype tools and 4 borders that help amplify the tintype aesthetic.
