Tritone conversion

Today a travel image from Marrakesh, taken last year. I liked the original color image a lot, but felt it would convey the dark ’tea-house-mood’ better in B&W. Instead of a plain B&W conversion, I chose tritone, a technique that gives an ‘antique’ feel to your image. Basically, it’s just B&W with two colors added to the mix.

As I copied the technique from a tutorial on the internet, I am not going to quote all the steps involved here and pretend I discovered the technique. Instead, here is the link.

Be sure to experiment with the two colors you add to the B&W mix for different results. I started out with the values mentioned in the tutorial but ended up with slightly different tones to match my image better. Hope you like it!
