Re: Basic toning



Susan,

You might try using a weaker (diluted) bleach for a shorter time.  It seems the intensity and hue of toning can be controlled partially by giving shorter bleaching times than those recommended by Kodak.  I typically bleach only for 30 seconds and still get a strong, though less intense and redder (vs. yellower), color.  I suspect diluting the bleach will allow even more control over the result.

Hi List,

My question today is so basic and simple it hardly qualifies as "alt".

I want to tone fiber based photos, but without the strong "sepia" color.
What i want is to just add the slightest tone of warmth. 

Maybe tea? 

Susan
