[Leica] Toning in Photoshop: PAW 13

[saganicc at MSKCC.ORG (Saganich, Christopher/Medical Physics)]

Brilliant, thanks.  I'll never set up an enlarger again.  Let us know how the prints come out.  I usually have my B&W C printed from digital files by Adorama.  I've been happy with the results except for toning, I think this split filtering may do the trick.

Chris,

If you click on the word "guidance" in my little paragraph of text under 
the first photo, you will be taken to:

http://www.computer-darkroom.com./tutorials/tutorial_2_1.htm

That article by Ian Lyons is on "Monochrome from Colour," so I skipped 
steps 1 and 2 and started with converting my monochrome image into RGB, and 
then picked up with step 3 in the tutorial.  I haven't printed any of them 
out yet, but I'm pretty pleased with the on-screen results.

Have fun,
Aaron
