Toning uses a selection of differnt coloured dyes, know as a "toner", to add colour to a black and white image. Our school has a selection of two differnt toner's, sepia and blue. i experimented with both of the colours on prints that i had produced from a film. Over all i was a bit disappointed with the outcome of my prints, but i believe that after a few goes i could produce a nice print.
Steps Of Toning
1. Soak the selected print in a tray of water for at least 1 minute.
2. Move the soaked print into a tray of bleach, making sure the whole print is covered and leave in till you think the print is faint enough (about 2-3 minutes).
3. Rinse off the bleach thoroughly then add the print to the toner, leaving the colour to soak into the print, taking it out when you think it is ready (about 1-2 minutes).
