The color might look different in the light tones than in the mid-tones and the midtones different than the dark tones. Often, darker tones will go too dark and the color tone will not be consistent across the whole tonal range. This method does not work well because most inkjet printer drivers have trouble printing toned B&W images in their color printing modes. One way is to add a color tone in Photoshop (as demonstrated below in the "Web Display" section on this tutorial), then print the image as if it were a color image. There are two ways to tone a digital/Inkjet B&W print. The effect of these could be varied from a subtle change to a strong brown tone, depending on how long the paper was left in the toner. ![]() ![]() Selenium toner shifted the image slightly to a blue-purple hue (this was subtle, not a strong color change!), while Sepia and brown toners gave a warm brown image. In addition, chemical toners could be used on the prints after they were developed and fixed to augment the image color built in to the paper. Manufacturers of silver-based papers used in the darkroom made "Cold Tone" papers, which had a slightly cool color to the image "Neutral Tone" papers that were close to neutral gray in color and "Warm Tone" papers that had a warm brownish or olive image tone. ![]() Photographers who make black & white prints in the darkroom have always had the ability to control the 'color' of their prints through choice of paper type and the use of chemical toners. Black and white prints are rarely made to have an absolutely neutral gray 'color.' B&W images actually look nicer with a slight color tone added to them! They tend to have a greater 'depth' to the image when toned.
