Producing Tints and Tones in Monochrome Films Using Modern Color Techniques
Many early black-and-white films were given artificial coloring by the chemical processes of tinting and toning. Most remaining prints have lost these colors, and the original methods of tinting and toning are rarely practical or economical today. A system of recreating the effect of both tinting and toning has been devised, using modern color-film materials. The technique was applied to the restored copy of the 1927 Australian film classic For the Term of His Natural Life.
