Creative Color Processing (Part 2/3 – Split Toning)

This is Part 2 of a 3-part series on creative color effects using Lightroom 4. In Part 1 of the series, I discussed shifting White Balance either warmer or cooler for creative effect. In this article I will explain Split Toning, and also give you some ideas for using creative white balance and split toning together for even more color control.


For this image, I used split toning to complement the autumn foliage by adding red to the shadow areas:

While white balance affects the entire image, split toning allows you to treat the shadows and highlights differently. You can add one color to the shadows and a different color to the highlights, and also control the balance between the two.


In processing this scene of a street in Tokyo I used split toning to add blue to the shadows and yellow to the highlights:

Split Toning can also be combined with white balance for creative effect. In the photo below I used a cool 3500 kelvin white balance, and then used split toning to warm the skin tones by adding yellow to the highlights. The result is cool-toned image, without unnaturally bluish skin tones. In this way, white balance and split toning can be used together to create an effect that would not be possible with either tool on its own.

Creative color processing is very subject, and ultimately comes down to personal preference. Even if you don’t really like the editing decisions I’ve made in these sample photos, I hope I’ve inspired you to try some new techniques for creatively processing your photos. I appreciate feedback, please comment below or feel free to connect with me through Facebook or Google+.


This concludes Part 2 of my Creative Color Processing series. In Part 3, I will show you how to use the Tone Curve tool to control the red, green, and blue color channels separately.

10 alternativas a Cuevana para ver películas online

10 alternativas a Cuevana para ver películas online : Durante este último tiempo, en Cuevana se sucedieron varios “problemas” por los cuales hubo que ajustar algunas cosas antes de tiempo (como el rediseño del sitio), que dejaron a algunos usuarios ciertos problemas para acceder a las películas o series del portal. Pero realmente esto es algo que no incumbe a los usuarios y, como sabemos, existen muchas otras alternativas a Cuevana dando vueltas por Internet, que intentaremos presentar aquí mismo. Los sitios que repasaremos funcionan del mismo modo que Cuevana, mediante la instalación de un plugin que permite visualizar los videos de Megaupload o WUShare, entre otros servicios, en una calidad de imágen realmente excelente. Tal como sucede con el más popular servicio, todos ellos tienen publicidad que en algunos casos resulta insoportable, pero como dice Federico en DotPod “a caballo regalado no se le miran los dientes”.

Learn Composition from the Photography of Henri Cartier-Bresson

“Do you see it?” This question is a photographic mantra. Myron Barnstone , my mentor, repeats this question every day with the hopes that we do “see it.” This obvious question reminds me that even though I have seen Cartier-Bresson’s prints and read his books, there are major parts of his work which remain hidden from public view. Beneath the surface of perfectly timed snap shots is a design sensibility that is rarely challenged by contemporary photographers. Henri Cartier-Bresson. © Martine Franck Words To Know 1:1.5 Ratio: The 35mm negative measures 36mm x 24mm. Mathematically it can be reduced to a 3:2 ratio. Reduced even further it will be referred to as the 1:1.5 Ratio or the 1.5 Rectangle. Eyes: The frame of an image is created by two vertical lines and two horizontal lines. The intersection of these lines is called an eye. The four corners of a negative can be called the “eyes.” This is extremely important because the diagonals connecting these lines will form the breakdown
