Colour and Tritone versions of that image...

Click here for the full resolution colour version, or here for the tritone -- they are both huge files, so be warned!


Traditionally, duotones, tritones and quadtones are created by overprinting the same monochrome image with different colured inks, typically each having different levels of contrast. You can get some very subtle effects, or go in for false colour lunacy if you prefer. I went for something that looks a bit like a platinum print -- I was going for an 'Ansel Adams' kind of extended contrast, plate camera look. The highlights are overprinted in silver, and the shadows in a dark brown. I'd love to get an A3 or larger print made -- the huge resolution is too much for A4 really. I like the look.

For completeness, I thought I'd upload the original colour version too
