This is a great idea. Unfortunately I have had limited darkroom experience and have only use selenium and sepia toning. The selenium seems a tad too purple although I know it does give off that color a bit. The sepia looks pretty good, maybe slightly too much orange but still good. I like all the tones though and would love to know the specific adjustments made.

I thought there were some presets (in Photoshop) designed to do just this, but maybe it was something in an article I read ...

I've found that sometimes a Black + Cyan Duotone will give a look a little like a selenium-toned B&W.

Those are nice examples.

Hi John,
I think you did a great job in getting the tones right.
I am a big fan of the Platinum myself, and in fact used that tone in my highest rated Aloft image here on DPC. I tried to do it myself, but never got it right. In turn, found a third-party plug-in filter for PS called Power Retouche Pro that can do them consistently for me. Often, I will run the filter in a new layer, then fade back some to bring the colors back up, giving a tone to the image, again in a controlled, repeatable process.
Great work John.
