X-Series Modern Classic | X6 The Lith Archive for Lightroom & Mobile

$9.95

Gritty, textured, and hauntingly atmospheric.

The X6 is the "rebel" of the Black & White archive. While other presets focus on smoothness or clean tones, the X6 is designed for the Lith Print aesthetic. This is the ultimate choice for photographers who want a raw, imperfect, and high-texture look. It turns standard digital photos into something that feels like it was developed in a basement darkroom using experimental chemicals and rough-grain paper.

The Preset Explained

X6 | The Lith Grain: This preset delivers a high-friction, textured monochrome look. It features an "exploded" grain structure and a unique tonal compression that pushes mid-tones into the shadows while keeping highlights sharp and grainy. It’s designed to emphasize imperfections—making dust, skin texture, and architectural grit become the stars of the image. The result is a hauntingly beautiful, high-contrast frame that feels alive and tactile.

    • Infectious Texture & Grit X6 doesn't just add grain; it integrates texture into the highlights and shadows, giving your photos a heavy, physical weight.

    • Haunting Contrast It uses a unique "crushed" mid-tone curve that creates a dramatic, moody atmosphere unlike any other B&W preset.

    • The "Experimental" Soul Perfect for street photography, backstage music shots, or raw portraits where you want to highlight character over "perfection."

    • Film-Noir Edge It pushes the boundaries of monochrome, offering a look that feels both vintage and aggressively modern.

    • 1x X6 Lith Grain Preset for Lightroom MOBILE (DNG file for iOS & Android).

    • 1x X6 Lith Grain Preset for Lightroom DESKTOP (XMP file for Mac & Windows).

    • Easy Step-by-Step Installation Guide.

  • X6 is inspired by Lith Printing, a specialized darkroom process known for its "infectious development." This technique creates a very specific look: incredibly deep, gritty shadows paired with soft, textured highlights. By emulating this non-linear contrast and the heavy grain of underexposed high-speed film like Kodak T-Max P3200, X6 ensures your work feels edgy and artistic. It transforms a simple photo into a gritty piece of contemporary art.

    • The Foundation: X6 thrives on images with lots of detail—think wrinkled fabrics, old brick walls, or portraits with dramatic shadows.

    • Apply X6: Watch as your photo is instantly transformed into a gritty, high-contrast darkroom print.

    • Texture Control: If the look is too "noisy," use the Noise Reduction slider to soften the grain while keeping the heavy contrast.

    • Shadow Recovery: Use the Shadows slider to decide how much "mystery" you want in the dark areas.
