Surprise!!!
After hand-tinting a black and white photograph, duplicate the layer, set a high pass radius on it of about 15 pixels, and set the opacity at around 20-25% to enrich the colors on the finished work for a vintage look. Also, have fun with the colors...I have no idea what color clothing the people in the famous photograph below were wearing, so I just used my imagination.

I keep hearing people refer to a "topaz" something in reference to post-processing. What is it?

Topaz Adjust, probably.

I don't like a lot of what comes out after being ran through it, but some people swear by it.

edit: I suppose when used in moderation it does have some decent results, but as you can see by those examples, some of that is just horribly over processed.

The effect does look pretty cool, but I do think at a certain point you really shouldn't call it a photograph anymore.

:rolleyes: I tend to think photography is a pretty broad medium, you can't just lump poo poo you don't like in with painting.

We can call it a "paintograph"
