Hi, help if possible here guys, I have a client who has three images supplied by a now defuct tog .

two are b/w and one colour

my customer want the colour made b/w,

Easy I say till I see the other two b/w ones.

they have a slight blue tinge to them no doubt made with some special effect which I might have [maybe in lR] but don't know about.

Can any one have a look at the attached and suggest how to duplicate this?

these are scans of the images and are bluer than the originals but hopefully will give you the right idea.

I'd use faststone for that. I'd set to sepia in the colour main menu, then ctrl e and adjust contrast and add blue with the sliders. Shouldn't take more than a minute or two per image.

what is faststone?

vladimiroltean · 09-04-2012, 07:36 AM

Lightroom, B&W + split toning, yellow for highlights and blue for shadows.
Or Instagram.
And rotate image 90 degrees clockwise.

Glad you got the help you needed, but I have to ask...what in the world is a "defuct tog"?

I'm thinking he was pointing out the misspelling of defunct - unless defuct is the English spelling.

Thanks for the clarification. I think there was a typo on the word defunct in your post, and not being a social media kind of person I was unfamiliar with the use of "tog" as a shortened version of photographer.
