Silver Toning a Black and White pic

[hardboiled]

Anytime.
The thing is there's 100's ( that's not an exaggeration ) of people all looking to get the same effect. yet no one has a defined answer.
This guy has the right idea, BUT, it's using 3rd part software Animation Master.
http://www.renderosity.com/mod/tutor...tutorial_id=63 Not sure it's actually being sold anymore.

But in the mean time I'm going to have a play around with Maxon Cinema 4D, and Maya to see if they can tune a B&W pic, and I'll still keep searching.

As someone else suggested slighty earlier, We may well all be chasing rainbows and the the real trick to it is getting the lighting right in the first place. But we're all lazy so no harm in looking.


Here's another good example

Why dont you post-up one of your images that you want to do this to?
Also I think that guy is using HDR.

I hadn't got a specific pic in mind I wanted to apply this to as most of the work I do is around boring family pics. Would want to waste time glamourising those.

That didn't take long. According to this website. This is how it's done( I haven't tried it yet but will by the end of the day I hope )

Thats a solarization technique. that's not what your after.

Its good photography probably some HDR and then a fair amount of retouching theres not a quick fix.
