Personally, I'm starting to find that I like a warm-toned B&W print over a straight B&W.
I already shared that one of my favorite PS tricks is to use the hue/saturation dialogue to tone a B&W. (Click on the colorize option, then adjust hue and saturation to achieve the effect you want. I often use a 30, 10, 0 setting to create a sepia-like look.)
Anybody else want to share their favorite methods?

I use the channel mixer to get to an 'interesting' greyscale, then
use the 'Duotone' option (Image-Mode-Duotone) and pick an interesting
pre-set option. These days I quite often use a custom quad-tone that
I found on-line that gives a really warm, selenium type tone.
I used that for this picture, and then boosted the contrast a bit and
re-leveled after using the duotone to get a 'real' black and the
contrasty jeans.

Gordon -- any info on where to find the custom quad? Or the settings it uses? (Assuming, of course that it was a freebie -- not trying to pirate or anything.)
DOH! Never mind -- you edited your post while I was writing the last bit....

For the custom quad, look at this article

Exactly what I was looking to find, Gordon, thank you.
Anybody else out there have any tricks for toning?

Thanks for the link, Gordon.
I also like to use the duotoning capability. It gives that subtle warmth to an image. For the something old challenge i used a quadtone and for the pencil challenge i used a tritone. Thus far, i have simply converted the image to gray-scale before applying the tone but will experiment more with the channel mixer before "duotoning".
When i started with duotoning, i tried to create my own tones. Then i read in one (maybe several) of my PS books that the tones in the PS presets cannot be beat. After my own experiment, i concurred wholeheartedly. (You can, however, change the curves of the tones). So, i am curious to see this new quadtone per Gordon's link.
Patella, I loved the toning of the "mill" image you showed here some time ago as a critique. Mind sharing how you achieved that tone? |

Journey,
It's the process I described at the beginning of this thread.
Desaturate the pic (Shift+Ctrl+U).
Open Hue/Saturation Dialogue (Ctrl+U).
Click on the colorize check box.
Set Hue=30.
Set Saturation=10.
Leave Lightness=0.
That simple. You can also create a cool tone by using a blue hue, a selenium tone with a purple hue, or whatever tone your heart desires by sliding the hue/saturation sliders around.

Thanks, Patella. Yes, I am familiar w/ the Hue/Sat colorize route of toning.
BTW, I'm not sure whether you ever read my response to your Head/Cakebox critique (threads vanish so quickly here) but want to say again that i wasn't familiar at all with Weechee and thanks to you have come to appreciate him a lot :) |

You're welcome on all counts.
I decided to give up on the whole critique thing. Those who responded always seemed to enjoy what was going on (whether they liked the photo or not), but when a couple of threads in a row had only like three people commenting, I decided I had better things to do with my time. *shrug* Oh well... :-)
