Split Tone Photos [inspired by @thecryptofiend]

Steemit tutorial tryout

---

I'm really impressed whow much creative input steemit-users provide and how many great people share their knowledge.

After reading this article by @thecryptofiend, I was inspired to try out the split-toning technique for myself.

I used Lightroom CC several times before but wasn't aware that there is such an easy way to do it.

This is the original image:

This is the standard b/w version:

This sepia-like version uses the same tinting for highlights and shadows:

This effect is achieved by using somewhat yollowish highlights and violet shadows (as you can see in the screenshot of my Lightroom-settings below):

I'm using a german version. Above are the highlights, below the shadows.

This is the last version I tried out, using some dark yellow in the highlights and deep reds for the shadows:

And this are the settings I used.
