Introduction

Now out: Tones Variations CS2 that works with Photoshop CS and Photoshop CS2. (The image processing hasn't changed, so if you're still using Photoshop CS, you don't need to upgrade; the only significant change is to file i/o that uses the ..\Presets\Scripts folder to store settings.)

Tones Variations, a component of The Variations Suite is an invaluable companion to the popular B+W Variations. It offers eight ways to tone your favourite B&W images for that touch of elegance and nod to the past.
