How-to Hand-Tint Photos
1. Collect your tools: Black-and-white photo printed on matte photo paper, photo oils and/or pencils, cotton swabs.
2. Begin to paint. Lightly dab a swab in the first color. Dab off the excess on scratch paper and then rub on the paint using a circular motion. To achieve lighter tints, mix the oils with colorless extender according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
3.Touch up areas. If you stray outside the lines, don’t worry—the tinting oil stays wet for a while. Use a clan swab to touch up areas. You may want to remove a little color from especially detailed areas of the photo. Once the color dries, which varies depending on how much you apply, it is permanent. To further highlight details, build up layers of color with tinting pencils. 
4.A little color goes a long way. Used sparingly, photo tinting highlights important areas but still allows the beauty of a black-and-white photo to show through.

I am new to scrapbooking and your site was the first one that I noticed that had matte photo paper noted when collecting your tools. I have taken tons of digital photos and am now beginning to consider printing some for a scrapbook project. Do you recommend that type of paper when printing out photos?
