Toning of Black & White Prints
Before engaging in toning, it can not be stressed enough that the prints
to be toned should be properly fixed and washed. The only exception for
toning of prints that have been improperly processed might be a conceptual
or aesthetic consideration, and to achieve this in a convincing manner
usually requires a high degree of control from many past experiments.
While toning Varies from protective coatings that have little colouration
of the image, subtle colour variations, right through to bold colour shifts,
it should be remembered (with a few exceptions) that toning can not make
a good print out of a bad image.
