The other day I was talking to a friend about a photographer and I took a look at their YouTube channel and saw a video on Split Toning. The video was about 6 years old and when I looked at my Lightroom it wasn’t there, but then I realised that Color Grading did the same thing.
Split Toning is where you put colours into the shadows and highlights. It is a technique which is used in a lot of movies. I like the effect it gives. The guy in the video was doing it on a black and white photo. I thought it looked fascinating and decided to try it on some of my rainforest images.
I think I need to explore more with the technique.
What do you think? Was it worth it?
Split toning is always worth it. Mine doesn’t ever come out okay, but I tell myself I’m learning
I agree it can be fantastic. I like what you tell yourself, keep learning, we all are. I find less is more with this sort of thing. Thank you IJ.
Definitely worth it, I really like the effect on these shots! I’d be tempted to try it but I don’t think my Elements software has such an effect and nor, on a quick look, does my go-to Nik Color Efex 🙁
Thank you Sarah, it is a cool effect. I don’t know what those programs have sorry. I would think elements would have something.
I had a go at it once and wasn’t happy with the results but perhaps I chose the wrong image. This works fine for you…in fact it really stands out really well. Excellent 👍
It seems you have to choose the right image, so the tute I was following said. I don’t really know. I guess you just have to try it James and see what you get. Thank you so much.
I will give it another go…I do like the effect it gives 🙂
I think it is about playing around with images and seeing what you get. I got some gruesome ones when the colour was too strong.
Well we can’t get it right all the time 🙂
That’s for sure.
Absolutely worth it.
Glad you think so Sofia, thank you.
It’s quite interesting in its effects, but not something I’d ever do. But then … editing is not my thing.
I love editing, I like seeing what I can do with images. But I get it if it isn’t your thing Margaret. I hope you enjoy seeing what others do. Thank you.
Fascinating! And definitely worth a try. I really love what you’ve dine here!
Thank you so much Tobias, it is easy to do, which is always nice.
It is interesting, and I need to look into the technique.
It is Anne, it is easy to do, just play with the color grading. Thank you.
Great experiments. I like using split toning and complementary colors.
thank you Egidio, I love it too, though I normally use photoshop to do it.
