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?
