Description done because people were asking and I wanted to help out...
that and this episode of red dwarf is taking forever to download...

keep in mind that these tones can be cool with practice, but if you just use them as they are and dont touch up your image a little its like buying a gobstopper thats sevral miles wide, sure its filled with goodness, but no one will be able to taste it.

also its important to point out that dithering by hand will almost always make for a much cooler look, but if you just want to tone stuff this will do the trick.

I am also a point out its possible to take these tones and use them as patterns in photoshop (as demonstrated by the background and arrows in the tut)

also the pic is a wip entry for =freyja1984 's contest [link]

anyway, the episode is downloaded now, cya later kiddies

I am a proud member of the group of people who didn't know Paint could grant you sweet toning abilities. Well, I used to be. You've torn me away from them. Now my membership has been canceled.

But this is pretty nifty.
