Perhaps as a reaction against the growing tide of digital photography, many traditional photographic techniques are enjoying a creative revival. The most popular are the related skills of toning and handcoloring. Now there's an easy-to-use resource that shows artists, photographers, and crafters how to master this unique, age-old technique. In Toning and Handcoloring Photographs, acclaimed photographer Tony Worobiec takes readers step by step through each process, examining the use of products that have only recently come on the market, as well as long-established ones. Illustrated throughout with Worobiec's own inspiring photographs and packed with useful tips and hands-on techniques, everything needed to tone and color successfully is here. Step by step, readers will see how easy-to-use media like photographic spot pens and artists' watercolors can breathe new life into treasured old photographs. Whether one wishes to give an old black- and-white photograph some added depth with pastels, handcolor an old family portrait for a scrapbook, or make rich gold-toned prints of exhibition quality, Toning and Handcoloring Photographs will bring out the dormant artist in everyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars
You can never have too many books...,
By Lee "seriousbookaholic" (West Monroe, LA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Toning and Handcoloring Photographs (Paperback)
While I wouldn't classify this book as a technical one - it will definitely whet your appetite for alternative processes. What I enjoyed most about this book was the many great examples showing both the before and after images. I especially enjoyed the examples of dual toning - sepia then selinium, selinium then blue, etc., etc., etc. and again - the images that supported these processes. If you need visual descriptions to get your creative juices flowing - you'll enjoy this book!

Concise manual for toning and hand-coloring a photograph.,
By Victoria Blewer (Vermont) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Toning and Handcoloring Photographs (Paperback)
This book is concise and complete and addresses the many ways to tone and to hand-color a photograph. Toning and and hand-coloring is the "old" method of manipulating a photograph. When I am unable to teach a student, I recommend they us this book.
