Using the Monochrome module I note that there is only an very minimal 
darkening of the sky using the 'red filter' preset (certainly nothing 
like the expected effect that would be found with film). Even when the 
target circle is reduced to its smallest size and moved to the corner of 
the red quadrant the effect still is lacking, quite significantly.

Possibly this module needs to be reevaluated. Monochrome is an important 
part of many photographers arsenal. Yes there are other ways to produce 
the monochrome effect but the Monochrome module should be the primary 
option.
