Setting WB to Tungsten works if you're shooting outside.

I don't get it. Do you want to avoid blue tint which is most often the case becuase it is unwanted effect due to incorrect white balance, or you want to make blue tint effect artificially?

I don't think the OP has explained his question that well, but apart from what Sharply has already said, if you mean where the photo would be a black & white albeit with a blue tint then that is done in Photoshop by just applying a Cooling Photo filter.

Like this:

Of course you can always do that to a colour image if you just wanted a more blueish looking image.

PSP has the "colorize" tool, which is what I use to create the kind of effect RT showed. I find it can be even more interesting sometimes to apply it to a duplicate layer then increase transparency just a bit, to bring original color slightly.

Adjustment layer, Hue/Saturation, Tick the Colorize option,Play with the sliders. Just make an action if you plan to use it more often.

Hey thanks everybody. I probably should have been more clear but RT's example is what I'm talking about.

Desaturate + Cooling Filter

That's "Colorize" in PSP, as I said. Then you choose the hue and saturation you want.

Actually in the example it's a Cooling filter, but you could get a similar sort of result with Colorize, the difference is that by using a Cooling filter your whites and blacks get the blue tint, whereby using Colorize they don't because theres no colour in the first place.

RT,

Thanks for the explanation, as from the sample image given I could not tell the difference.
