Tritones?

All these images are black and white images that have been toned.  From black and white you can also have monochrome, duotone, tritone or quadtone, with one, two, three or four colours applied respectively to different brightness regions.  For example, a tritone will apply different colours to shadows, mid-tones and highlights. 

The traditional approach to tritone or quadtone commercial printing was to use a set of compatible colours using the Pantone system to produce an image that looked monochromatic but had greater depth because it really wasn’t.  For example, the highlights might have been slightly warmer and the shadows slightly cooler.  But it was also possible to have a different kind of dramatic effect by using colours that were not so closely matched, with more obvious colour differences.

Having recently done a duotone post, I thought I would try tritone here.  It’s something of an experiment so you’re welcome to comment on how well they may have worked.  The point is how they work in themselves, not how they compare to the “colour” versions (regular or infrared).  Side by side, colour will usually dominate, even when it is not really the better image.
