Just in case you are wondering...

REASONS for TONING:

1. AESTHETIC EFFECT AND CREATING MOOD:  toning changes the appearance of the image and helps to create a certain atmosphere the artist wishes to convey.  Portraits, landscapes and sunsets benefit from warmer tones like sepia.  Snow scenes, sea scapes, night views, mechanical images suit the use of blue toners.
2. ADDITIONAL PROTECTION:  Some toners convert or coat the silver image giving it greater resistance to damage from external contaminants.
3. INCREASED MAXIMUM DENSITY:  Some toners increase print density (blue and selenium)
4. DIFFERENT OVERALL PRINT COLOUR:  Dilute toning baths alter the colour of a print appealing to personal taste.
