tinting and toning a B&W image - rtravistlh - 05-17-2022
I want to be able to tint and tone black & white images (as separate tasks – not with the same image at the same time).
Tinting and toning are not colorizing.
In chemical photo terms, tinting and toning have separate meanings. Tinting a B&W image a desired color is equivalent to looking at that image through a color filter, or printing a B&W image on a solid-color paper. Toning is when the densities of a B&W image are converted to a selected color, with the grey scale varied as concentrations of that color, from white (lightest areas) to full-color (darkest ares).
Colorizing is something else entirely.
How do I tint and tone B&W images?

Hmm.. put your colour as a new layer and play with layer modes.

Is the colorize filter = your print on coloured paper ?

or with your colour layer over the top of the image, change the opacity of the colour

Both with Color > Map > Gradient map: tinting is using a "Black to color" gradient, toning is "Color to white" gradient.

Thank you all. Good replies.
rich2005, your second example looks to be a toned image (in chemical photo terms). The third one possibly tinted. Thanks.
sallyanne, I'll try that.
Ofnuts, Looks like you got both. From the B&W cityscape image, the center one would be a tinted image, and the third one toned. Great! I got something to work with now. (BTW, looks like a CinemaScope picture.)
