Tinting Black and White photos

Early in my photography career, I was experimenting with tinting Black and White photos. I was using “Ecoline by Talens” liquid watercolors, having lots of fun, and after a while I was able to get consistent results.

Tinting Black and White photos digitally have more freedom, It’s less adventurous, more straight forward and gets the job done.
