Apart from the excellent recipe Gordon has pointed out here at luminous landscape, does anyone know of any other recipes that reproduce the looks of any other traditional photographic styles (Sepia, Van Dyck, Kallitype, Silver Gelatin, Palladium, Platinum, Cyanotype, Light cyanotype, Silver, etc.)
I'm not so much looking for means of recreating these styles using hue/saturation as I am actual duo/tri/quadtone recipes for Photoshop.
Any and all help appreciated.

I'd be interested in these as well...
... it does occur to me that we could try to come up with our own... ?

I've considered that Gordon -- considered it quite a bit actually. However, without some actual in-hand prints utilizing the various styles, I don't think it's a task I want to tackle. I mean, I can approximate what I think is right, but I was hoping for something a bit more precise than my approximations.
If it were up to me, I'd sit down with some test strips printed using the various methods, use a spectrometer/colorimeter to analyze the colors, create the quad profiles, and sell the stupid things. :-) |

Have you started with the built-in duotone presets? They were designed for Adobe by Stephen Johnson of Pacifica. Last I heard he was on a project to photograph all the national parks with hi-res digital images (using a 4x5 or 8x10 camera back on a view camera).
Duotones and curves are my favorite! |

The built ins are pretty good, but don't really attempt to emulate any of the traditional toning techniques.
Something I've been doing more recently (in response to one of the books that Patella recommended) is doing further RGB colour adjustments to the duotone, after I've applied it. My soft focus entry is an unpopular example of this... |

I wish I had some ideas for you Patella, but since I'm just discovering duo/tri/quad tones, I'm waiting to see responses to your query as well. Thanks for posting it!

Of course I have ideas! I started making duotones on a process camera, and for myself I've mostly used combos of Black and Cyan or Black and Pantone 143 (yields a slightly orangey sepiatone look I like). I've also executed one tri-tone of black, cyan, and yellow.
I think the photo of Ariel is a black/143 combo. If that's anything like what you're looking for, I can post the settings for that. If you email me a shipping address, I have plenty of (offset) printed samples I could send you.
I never really printed with film myself, so although I'm familiar with darkroom procedures, I have no direct personal experience with actual toning. |

Thanks for all the replies, still not finding what I'm looking for. Posted a similar thread on the National Association of Photoshop Pro's site -- will pass along any info I gather from there.

| That's beautiful Gordon, I've been looking and that's the first I've seen since the Luminous one -- wonderful. |
