Only since I read about you using them the other day - I've had photokit for
ages and the burn/dodge corners is great for the LF work when you get to
close to the edge of the image circle  - I use it all the time, but never
tried the toning - I've tried a couple and they look good so far

also came across these duotones the other day (and a B&W conversion
thingy) - some are a bit extreme, but others look okay (see below)
