What does the Cyanotype Tone effect change?

Cyanotype Tone builds a Prussian blue and paper white grade across shadows and midtones, while preserving highlight separation and the recognizable structure of the original photo. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Cyanotype Tone?

Choose Cyanotype Tone for portrait color grading, product images that need a unified palette, or social posts prepared as a coordinated series when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains severely clipped channels, color-critical documentation, or images where an exact product color must remain unchanged.
