Experiments : Toning

 The photograph above was covered in blue and red ink, which I then decided to bleach as it had covered the entire picture - making it harder to see the image. Although the bleach took away a lot of the detail, you can still see the image a bit better than when it was covered in ink.

 I liked this one above as it looks like blood, which I think relates well to my theme of gothic images. I think in future I will put less ink on to make it more subtle which I think will actually be more effective.

 For this one, I decided that I wanted to colour the star shapes in, as I thought that this would look interesting if there was a blend of colours, as this would add more detail to the image.

This one is similar to the blood- like drip earlier, except this colour is a shimmery green. I think that this technique works better than the one before, except I prefer the red colour.

Toning

Digital Toning :

Open the image and create a new layer. Pick a colour, such as red and use the fill bucket. Change the layer so that you are happy with the result, for example, here I used the 'Soft Light' layer.

I think that this in an effective technique however I don't think that it really added anything amazing to the photograph and therefore probably wouldn't use it again.
