Which style for your image?

Transform the mood of your shots with a toning effect

Original

The original raw is always in colour, so convert it in Camera Raw by selecting Adobe Monochrome from the Profile box and adjusting the sliders to suit. Then click Open.

Black-and-white

The classic neutral mono tone with no colour cast is always the starting point, but the Dodge and Burn tools can be used to pep up contrast in specific areas.

Cyanotype

In the regular Photoshop interface, create a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer. In the panel that opens, tick the Colorize box, then set Hue to around 220 and Saturation to around 35.

Sepia

In the Layers Panel, create a Hue/ Saturation Adjustment Layer. Tick Colorize then set Hue to around 30 and Saturation to around 25.

Split tone

With your mono shot on-screen in Photoshop, go to Filter > Camera Raw Filter. In the Color Grading panel, set Shadows to one colour and Highlights to another. Use complementary colours such as blue and yellow for the best effect.
