Film Tinting

Film tinting is the process of adding color to black-and-white film, usually by means of soaking the film in dye and staining the film emulsion. The effect is that all of the light shining through is filtered, so that what would be white light is, in fact, another color.

Film toning is the process of replacing the silver particles in the emulsion with colored, silver salts, by means of chemicals.
