Xiaomi Presets for Black and White Photography

Black and white photos live or die on light and texture. Xiaomi presets dedicated to monochrome let you sculpt both with zero color distractions.

Why go mono

• Emphasize gesture and expression without color noise.
• Highlight architectural lines or street shadows.
• Rescue images where mixed colors clash badly.

Presets to explore

• Silver Alley – Deep contrast, crisp edges; great for street candids.
• Soft Charcoal – Flatter curve with bright midtones for portraits.
• Infra Echo – Adds glow to highlights and grittier grain, ideal for dramatic landscapes.

Shooting tips

1. Look for directional light. Boring flat light equals boring black and white.
2. Compose around shapes: stairs, window frames, silhouettes. Presets amplify these forms.
3. After applying, nudge the tone curve manually to control how dark your blacks go—tiny adjustments make huge differences in mono.

Let the presets do the conversion, then spend your energy on finding bold compositions.
