I tried following a recent article which gave a lesson on advanced toning! The advanced bit being that each tone has it's own curves tweaked! This is a version of sepia tritone!

Now that I like. I'm playing with "Tones" at the moment and would be interested in the technique if there is a link that you can post

Re: Tritone
Hi Graham, sorry I don't have any link to website! - Apparently there are a few methods one can use to apply toning! 1. Hue & Saturation palette > Colourize.
2. Gradient map method, which I really would like to master! Then the Advanced method, where you can apply Duo, Tritone or Quadtone! This by all accounts is not available in Elements but is in the full Photoshop program! By adjusting the curves to each colour you choose for your toning, you can control the intensity of the highlights, midtones & shadows!
Firstly, go to Menu>Image>Mode>Grayscale and discard the colour info! Select which toning you prefer in the Image>Mode menu! It's helps to leave the first colour Black! Go to the second colour & click in the Type Box, selecting the type of toning you have chosen (Tritone etc) from the drop down menu! Then click on 2nd colour box to launch the colour libraries, select Picker & choose whichever colour you wish to use for toning! Repeat the process for 3rd or 4th colour as required! On the left side of the colour boxes you will see individual curve boxes! When you click inside this box, the tone can be adjusted by usual method of applying curves! For quick selection of Sepia, you can type in the RGB values, which are Red 210, Green 135 & Blue 0! Select OK, Go to Name Box & type in Sepia> OK! The intensity can be adjusted by selecting the curve box, & adjusting the curve line.
Once you have completed the toning, remember to convert your file back to RGB mode before saving unless you want to save in PSD for later work!JocelynComment

Re: Tritone
Glad to be of help Graham! I find toning images can imbue them with a totally different mood & can be so rewarding! Some images don't appear to be of the right subject until you try out the conversions! Good luck!
Thanks for your comments Barr1e! Sometimes reworking images by applying or trying out different things can produce something good!
