![]() Given enough time I felt I could have achieved the results I wanted with the mid-tones. With PS I had duotones to work with which made things easier as far as workflow was concerned. When I had access to PS I was using purple to deepen the blacks but had not found a way to give the mid-tones that richness I was looking for. I am not a fan of sepia but prefer the Ansel Adams coloration of b&w. The selenium tone I am looking for is one where the blacks are dense and the mid-tones are a rich gray. There really is no "one size fits all" when it comes to the process of selenium toning. Experiment with such plugins, using different layers for the different effects you try, and then try further fine tuning using Curves in PSP until you achieve the actual effect that pleases you. Otherwise, if you happened to get the Nik Collection plugins when it was offered for free then the Silver Efex Pro plugin provides a variety of B&W toning presets that you can apply to a layer on your original image and sliders to fine tune those presets. The best advice I can give you is to simply type the words selenium toning into Google and check out the multitude of links, and you'll find all sorts of people with all sorts of advice that works for them and perhaps which you can modify so that some of it works for you. So nobody would be able to give you explicit advice on values or methods to apply because only you know what you're starting with and only you know what actual tone you want to finish with that looks right for you. Selenium toning is not a single tone but covers a wide range of toning done on b&W (greyscale) images. The simple answer is this: There is NO simple answer to what you wish to achieve because only you know exactly what tone is satisfactory to you. As said, you have asked about this several times over the years. You could have asked this in the previous thread in which you were discussing the subject.
