Split Tone Settings in LR 4/5
Oct 8, 2015 17:27:53 #
Can someone make some suggestions for setting recipes in LR for your split-tone images? I am significantly color-deficient and some base settings to start and i can adjust. I don't want start with non-complimentary colors paired up which seems to be my forte.
I would be very grateful.

If you are referring to presets I think it is a bad idea for split toning as every photo is different. I have many presets home made but have none for split toning. That procedure is purely trial and error. Now I come from the group that looks for realistic photos. If you are from the other group that likes the grunge or whacked out look then by all means set up some presets but I think in this case, the tool requires a trial and error approach as well.

Thanks Peter appreciate your response. I think my question should have been worded a little more sharply. My problem is when i move the slider i don't know what the colors are and it's hard to figure out if i am using complementary or analogous colors. So, for instance if my top hue is say a 30 what should the bottom hue be set at to get a complementary color and what would the analogous hue setting be set to? Make sense?
I am definitely not a fan of split toning but a couple of clients i am working with want some vintage looking prints and split toning is the way to go on this one.
Your link is really helpful. Thanks!

The simplest way is to slide the saturation all the way to the right, then slide the Hue to get a color you like. Then repeat on either the Highlights or Shadows depending on which one you started with. Once you have your colors selected you can slide back the saturation on both to a more palatable result.
Now if you find that one or the other is too much, you can slide the Balance to get a more even effect.
Just in case... on the Highlights and Shadows lines you will see a little color box (click it and choose any color you want) and beside that is a black triangle. Make sure the triangles are pointing down to show the Hue and Saturation sliders.
