I guess you are right, PJ. But today very few people work with chemicals, although I know a few, that still do. I wonder if I can actually buy printing paper, toned in Sephia or blue?

Monochrome = B&W. If you toned or tint B&W with a single color, it is still B&W. This is not hard to understand...

Re: Re: RE: Define Monochrome
Perhaps. I have now come to the conclusion, that monochrome means "One Colour". That is blue in blue, green in green, red in red, gray in gray etc. Very dark parts will seem like the chosen colour in the darkest version. Very bright may seem white. A few years ago monochrome pictures were NOT accepted many places, if ink other than gray and black was used. Today this has changed. You can print in shades of blue, red, green etc. and still get the images accepted as monochrome. As long as there is no trace of other colours in the image. That is if you tone an image sephia, the dark parts should also appear brown, not black. The toning must be total. Black and Sephia in one photograph makes it a colour photograph, since it has two colours. Regards Jens -- Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.

RE: Define Monochrome
For me, monochrome is any single colour, whether green, red, blue or anything in between. Variations in saturation and tone give a viewable image, as in a sepia print. Technically, black is no reflected light, therefore no 'chrome' at all, whereas white is all colours reflected equally,, therefore not 'mono'. HTH!

What's the "official" photographic definition? It seems the original definition is about painting with only one colour. Black. For instance - on white paper or canvas. This gives me a problem: Black & White - that's two colours. Or perhaps just one: White, since black is not a colour. White is. So, B&W is paintning with to colours: Light and no light/light and darkness and all shades in between. So why is "yellow and blue", or "red and green" etc. not acceptable within the definition of monochrome? Or is it ?

RE: RE: Define Monochrome
Up to you, of course, but Bill's notion about a substrate is mistaken. According to the Munsell system, colour can be described using values of hue, saturation and tone. Hue is the 'colour' as we normally use the term - red, green, yellow, whatever. Saturation is the extent to which the hue appears faded & dull or rich & vibrant. Tone or value is the extent to which the hue seems light or dark. A colour picture becomes monochrome if you remove the hue (and therefore also the saturation), leaving only the tonal values, which we normally represent on a grey scale. If you replace the grey with another single hue (mono chrome) but retain the same tonal values you still have a monochrome picture. The key property is that only one hue is used.

RE: Define Monochrome
In my camera club monochrome means "one colour", a literal translation. There is also the standard art convention that black and white are not colours, they are shades or tones. This, unfortunately, led to the camera club deciding that monochrome allows black and white and one colour. Instead of just getting pure B&W or entirely toned images (and god how I hate sepia) we occasionally get B&W with spot colour. Theoretically an image that was entirely red or yellow would pass too, so I have thought about putting in a close-up of a rose just to make a point.

Re: RE: Define Monochrome
Thanks Bob ans William. Your opinions surely differ. I think I'll go with Williams definition. Because WHITE IS a color. Black is not. I believe monochrome means painting with one colour - usually white, but it could be any other colour. The base on which I can paint is black, which is not a colour (absense of light). So, in monochrome, I can substitute White with any other colour, but the black base is a MUST. So, a picture, using blue ink on a yellow base is NOT monochrome, thats's two colours.
