Black and White settings for Orthochromatic films

[John61]

I've been trying to emulate Black and White images as the old orthochromatic film styles, such as Ilford FP3 ( which I believe was Ortho).

Can anyone help me please? I know that you would have to cut the reds and increase the blues, but are any other channels needed to be cut?

You could have a look at the HaldCLUT colour tables (film emulations - B&W included) for Affinity Photo: it was brought up a few years ago:

Cheers,

Have you considered using a LUT. There are Ilford Luts available here - They include FP4 and Ortho Plus, not sure about FP3.

Thanks for the input. I've downloaded your LUTs and found what I was looking for.
