Split toning info from Jonathan Bailey

Photographer Jonathan Bailey has written a two-part article on the split toning of prints.

Whereas conventional toning (sepia, for example) will render a print a uniform chocolate brown color, split-toning typically yields shades of reds and blues – occasionally even greens and violets – and therein lies the difference. The effects may range from subtle to extravagant. Generally speaking, split-tones are the result of chemical toners used after normal processing and fixing…"

  1. Hi, I live in Peru and I’m looking for Ilford Multigrade IV paper, but I can’t find it even at http://www.ilford.com, what’s going on with Ilford darkroom support? Perhaps anybody knows about another site where I can find a catalogue of films and papers.

    Thanks
