HOW TO split toning

METALLIC HIGHLIGHTS

Still in the Highlights section of the panel, move the Hue slider right

to a value of 256.

This will give the image a slightly metallic purple tone. At this point,

you might consider moving the Saturation slider right to emphasise

the purple hue, but this is entirely down to preference. For a

traditional, retro effect it’s best to avoid overly saturating colour.

LESS IS MORE

Split toning adjustments can also come in handy for adding

tone to black-and-white images. The important thing to

remember here is that the Saturation adjustment is a lot more

sensitive compared to altering the tone of a colour image.

Only a small amount of saturation is required to make the

tonal variations visible. Import the mono image and select

the Develop module. In the Split Toning panel start with the

Highlights and move the Saturation slider to 17. You should

start to see a slight red tint appear.
