In this one-day workshop, participants learn the techniques of toning photos to achieve the desired effects through subtle & not-so-subtle changes of color in their prints. Generally reserved for B&W prints, toning is also effective on some color prints. Participants will also learn the technique of toning for archival permanence of photographs.

We will explore Sepia (odorless), Selenium, and at least one color toner, as well as alternatives to adding color to a print through dyes. Participants are shown the techniques of masking areas of the photograph to to create contrasting areas in the print. The prints receive an archival final wash cycle and discussion will follow.

Handouts & demonstrations highlight this class and enhance the on-hands activities. Participants must bring 2-3 copies of each photo they wish to tone, or 2-3 prints for any particular toner used. This provides a "practice print" for each part of the session. Prints should be no lager than 8x10.
