Using “Filter Effects” with “Deep Tone Monochrome”
[Deep Tone Monochrome] features a strong built-in red filter effect that applies even when [OFF] is selected for [Filter effects]. Because [Filter effects] cannot be applied more than once, selecting an option other than [OFF] will disable the built-in red filter effect. Contrast can be reduced by enabling [Y], [O], and [R].
