Tinting images using one or two tones

- Hello, everyone!…This is Sue Jenkins…with Productivity Tips for Web Designers.…In this week's lesson you'll see how easy it is…to tint images digitally using one or two tones.…A tinted digital image is an image…where you convert the color to black and white…and the recolor it with a single hue.…In traditional black and white photography,…what I call wet photography,…you can chemically alter prints with chemicals…like sodium sulfate, selenium, iron, and even gold,…to get a warmer or cooler tone in your image…with a range of tints from warm yellow browns…to cool blue blacks.…

In Photoshop we can avoid those dangerous chemicals…and create toned or tinted images in a matter of seconds.…There are many reasons why tinting…can be useful to your design work.…Tints can communicate warmth or coolness…and create a more emotional feel…than full color or even black and white images.…They can harmonize a set of images…with different color values.…They can give a vintage vibe to more contemporary photos,…and even help save badly colored images…
