This looks like a decent site for beginners, and should answer many of your basic questions. *B&W film with using a sepia tone filter* Toning (sepia or any other tone for that matter) with BW films of today are done after the print has been made. Papers vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and really you should try different ones out to see what you like. Some papers are warm, some are cool. For RC I usually use Ilford, but I also like Kodaks Polycontrast III in the lustre finish is really nice IMHO.

I am, therefore I create.......
