karla_eckhoff1 Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 If I want to achieve a toning effect of a digital print (brown tone, sepia, etc), can this be done via imaging software or as a printing process? I currently use GIMP to modify my digital files and ftp them to a photo lab. If it can be done using GIMP or other imaging software, then my next question is obviously HOW?

will_muir Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Here is a link that seems to work well for me. http://cs.uhh.hawaii.edu/~jeschke/photography/articles/gimp/SepiaToning/ The rest of the posts here won't work with the gimp I think, there are work around's but this seems to be the most straight forward and effective method that I have found.Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_michoel Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 Here is another quick and easy way of doing this. Set your foreground color to whatever toning color you like. Convert your B&W image to RGB. Add a new layer with "layer fill type" set to "foreground". Set layer mode to "overlay". For more information on blending modes, check out <a href="http://gimp-savvy.com/BOOK/index.html">Grokking the Gimp</a>, Chapter 5, or <a href="http://manual.gimp.org/">The Gimp User Manual</a>, Chapter 21.
