25 Split Toning is a simple process. You choose a Hue for the
Highlights and a Hue for the Shadows. Typically, yellow
is chosen for the Highlights and blue is used for the Shadows.
Then you can adjust the saturation of each colour and use the
Balance to control how much either colour dominates the other.

One final tweak is to go back to the Lens Corrections
panel and click on the Manual button and in the Vignetting
section, change the Amount to -35 and the Midpoint to 25. This
adds a subtle darkening to the edges of the image to draw the
eye to the centre of the shot.
28 Now you can compare the original image to our fully-
adjusted version. The difference is simply amazing. The
shadows have been brightened, the sky is warm and the sun is
glowing and there is plenty of detail wherever you look. An edit
like this only takes 10-15 minutes to do but the result shines.29 Now that the image is complete, you can click on the
Export button and save the result as an image format of
your choice. The Export options are quite detailed: you can
choose where to export the image, what file naming convention
you wish to use and what format.30
Back in the Library Module, your shot now displays the
results of your edits. You will note that there is a small icon
in the lower right corner to indicate this image has a series of
non-destructive edits attached to it. You can go back in at any
time and make more amends if you wish.26 For Highlights, use Hue 50 and Saturation 20 and Balance
at -20 to favour the Shadows. For Shadows we chose Hue
270 and a Saturation value of 10. The overall effect on the image
is to maintain warm tones in the brighter areas but also add
cooler tones in darker areas.
