Split Tones

Get Pushed Challenge #580
My partner challenged me to split tones. I have never done this before. I followed the videos she supplied and a few more and realized that Lightroom has changed and doesn't offer the old tool for split tones. So I had to do some more research to figure out how to do it with what Lightroom now has, which is color grading. Overall, doing the effect was not too hard. The results...I guess it's an acquired taste.
The largest photo is the original, processed slightly to improve it. The top is the original photo changed to a b&w and green and pink were the tones used. The one on the left directly under the original photo has warm tones - yellow and deep green. The photo on the very bottom was done in cooler tones - bluish and pinkish tones. I should have taken notes about what I did.

@kali Thank you for this challenge. You pushed me to do a technique I've not done before. I think that I will try it again, now that I've sort of figured it out.

I'm leaning toward the slightly processed original over the split tones but I could see where that technique might come in handy on some images. I like that you put all those shots together. It was fun to be able to compare them.

[Delwyn Barnett]

Interesting to see the results on an image. Thanks for doing this.

@olivetreeann It's a technique I'm not sure I will use very often, but good to know how to do it. Thanks for commenting.
@dkbarnett You're welcome. Thank you for your comments.

I like the way you are always up for the challenges your partners give you. This was interesting the way you compared the different choices.

[kali]

you had a good play around , and good to see the range of effect. I didnt know colour grading was the new term for it. perhaps its something to try with other kinds of images, more abstract or whatever. challenge met in any case.

[Dawn]

You’ve had a lovely play Kathy all nicely done

[Kathy A]

Very interesting but yes, an acquired taste

[haskar]

I guess you had fun! I like the bottom picture the most. It's so quiet and the players become the most important. This is a very interesting tool and is worth using, especially to mute overly loud tones.

[Babs]

Nice to see the comparisons. Always good to learn new skills.

[Casablanca]

I have no idea what split tones is in practice but it is a nice selection of pics!

[Susan Wakely]

Great results and interesting to see the comparisons.

[katy]

I had no idea what it was so you were already ahead of me. I’m really glad you showed us the variations in this collage so we could see the differences. Like you I think I’m not a fan, although I am sure there are some applications where it would be beneficial.

[Wylie]

Nice comparison.

[Margaret Brown]

Interesting comparison, nice work

[Jacqueline]

Nice work!

@shutterbug49 Thank you for saying that Debbie. I try. Seems to be the way I learn new things once a week.
@kali66 Thanks Kali. This was an interesting challenge.
@Dawn Thanks so much Dawn.
@kjarn I agree.
@haskar I did have fun. Of the ones that I used split toning on, I liked the same one as you. It did bring out some golds in the trees in the background. It could be useful for upping some colors without changing everything in Lightroom.
@onewing Thank you Babs. I agree.
@casablanca No I didn't either before I started this challenge. Thank you Casa.
@wakelys Thanks Sue.
@grammyn Thanks Katy. I'm not sure that I will use this effect much, but I know how to do it now.
@pusspup Thanks Wylie.
@craftymeg Thanks Meg.
@jacqbb Thanks Jacqueline.
