Re: Any favourite QTR-K3-OEM split-tone recipes?

2016-10-17 by brian_downunda@...

Well Jason, what I'm trying to achieve in the first instance is fairly simple and uncomplicated. I want fairly conventionally split-toned prints, i.e. warm toned shadows and slightly cool highlights, using the supplied QTR-K3-UC curves. I've done that, and was only really asking whether anyone had arrived at a different recipe.

I'm aware of your use of Walkling-derived material from another photographer in your city that you've met with and whom I collaborate with. I'll get him to send you my contact details. I'm not looking to construct a complex workflow and endless variations, but the purple selenium curve may be of interest for the highlights. Thanks.

Not sure what you're seeking to achieve with the QTR-K3 split toning - I am using QTR in a slightly different way to the warm/cool/neutral/sepia curves common with the application. Following a method Les Walkling introduced me too I have 6 curves - Neutral, Blue_Grey, Purple_Selenium, Red_Selenium, Warm_Black and Yellow_Sepia. With small amounts of the toning curves there are numerous possibilities. I believe Les designed the curves to mimic the old Kodak toning formulae/cards.

I have previously also used piezography selenium inks. The results I am getting with the above approach are very pleasing, particularly with the Espon SC P800 which I am now using.

Anyway, I'd be happy to send you some overview materials/talk to it with you in more detail if you think it's of interest.
