Take a step back in time with Quest 24 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.
Quest 24 Collodion includes 4 unique presets with built in masks, 2 distinct profiles, as well as tools and 4 borders that help amplify the tintype aesthetic.
“As an avid enthusiast of black and white and vintage editing style, I was eagerly anticipating to put the latest Quest preset to the test. And I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with its ability to transport my images into the bygone era, gaining a glimpse into the past. ”

“I have been so excited for this set and overall it totally lived up to expectations. I think having a few different tones for the base presets is a fantastic idea - I love Collodion 1 and 3 the most, but there’s a definite place for 2 & 4 with the stronger toning. ”
