Re: Silvering
You may get a satisfactory result this way - I assume you are using Photoshop?
- Curves layer to get overall density and contrast correct
- Hue and Sat layer reduce the blue and cyan by adjusting the saturation and lightness to -100 each
- D&B layer to dodge the brides dress and other areas that need lightening and burn background to disguise uneven tones
- Channel Mixer to set monochrome image
- Optional use Sepia tone as this example or just leave as is.
The attachment is a quick example and is a starting point to refine the image. Wait a few seconds for the image to change before and after. -
Re: Silvering
Hope this helps.
1. I first check the channels
2. I chose the red channels then did image, mode, greyscale and discard the rest of the channels!
3. I did a level adjustment layers
4. done a copy put mode to multiply to darken certain areas
5. then done hue/saturation adjustment layer
6. colour for sepia hue 49 saturation 13 for the sepia colour
hope this helps

Re: Silvering
A huge thank you to Tony W and sergio2263! Both of those methods were much easier to do than what I had been doing and they both look much better. I tried both and will continue playing with them to see which one I can make look the best. Then I'll clean up some of the remaining graininess. Thanks again!Comment

The resultant color shifts depends on what you use as a reference though...

This plug-in was born of my flow as oppossed to researching techniques. Found myself doing a lot of the same things over and over, so I boiled it down into a plug to do the grunt work.

Take Hue and Sat, then let Lum fall where it may. Let's take byRo's technique and rearrange the data a little bit - a very useful parlour trick. Thank you, byRo.
