was looking at some old photos of Kate bush, Stevie Nicks, and some other celebrities photoshoots from that time period and admiring the glowy affect or the purple and red colour palette on the photos wondering how I can achieve that same effect and then I realized that they did not have online editing software or even internet but the photos still look very nice and not like raw images I usually see. This may be a dumb question, I am not a photographer and do not know much about all this stuff but I am just curious.
Have dodged and burn. Not a professional printer so it was difficult process to repeat.
Ansel Adams used a lot of this process to produce the 11 tones of the Zone System. While Mr. Adams tried to get his exposures in the Zone by carefully metering a scene, he also made use of professional printers who would make his prints off of annotated contact sheets.
When I shot B&W film, I had a yellow and red filter ready. I preferred the contrast the red filter gave me.
I have not touched up a shot with paint or pencil, but I did, for several years, do hand tinting/coloring my own work using oil-based pencils and oil paint.
This really worked better with fiber based paper and as that go more and more difficult/expensive to find, I gave it up.
I have printed monochrome shots onto water-color paper and produced pleasing effects.
