What is the difference between the black and white styles?

Smooth grayscale keeps a full range of tones for a classic monochrome look. High-contrast black & white emphasizes strong shadows and highlights for a bold graphic effect. Soft film-style grayscale creates a more cinematic, gentle black & white look ideal for portraits and atmospheric scenes.
