Split tones by peadar

Split tones

Sarah ( @sarahlth ) recently posted a photo treated in part with the split tone process. Many were bemused by the term. "Split tones" is a feature in Lightroom (and probably many other processing packages) that allows you a pretty wide degree of control over how highlights and shadows are coloured, toned, balanced etc. Inspired by Sarah, and also all the other great water drop images on here, I thought I'd have a play around and this is the result.

@fbailey Felicity, thank you. As with so many images, the minute you put it up you start to notice little things that could have been done better, but I suppose that's the learning curve, isn't it!

@fbailey And, by the way, there is a free download available from Nikon for your camera (called Capture NX-D) - the link is below.

Thank you for sharing this technique. I like the abstract photo, the colors are gorgeous and I like how the dof falls in the back to bokeh.

@peadar Thanks very much indeed Peter, will download this shortly. This is such good fun - and I thought retirement might be boring!!
