Colour Toning

In association with Photocrowd

Open Rating Results
Brief

Just like your Gran applying a blue rinse to liven things up, the colour toning of images can bring a little je ne sais quoi to otherwise monotone scenes. This used to involve mysterious chemical washes applied to prints in the darkroom. Nowadays it’s a little easier. Traditionally colour toning is usually sepia or blue, but why not see what other colours we can have fun with?

This Premium Contest is worth 1.5x the standard points towards your Leaderboard ranking. It’s Expert-judged AND crowd-rated, with your score from each combined. Find out more about ranking points here. Our Experts are some of the world’s finest photographers, who select the best images, and provide valuable feedback to help you improve.

How it works

Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. You can see all the images uploaded to a contest, but will need to rate them to see how they’re ranked once the rating period begins.

Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge. After the submission period closes the judge chooses their favourite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
