What is Orange and Teal

As you can see for the past few years, using different social media sites are part of our daily activities. One of these is Instagram.

Different people will be able to see your photos and your story that's why for me and for some, post processing is a big part when we are uploading photos in our social media sites, since it helps us to tell more story, curate our feed, make our own style and to produce quality content.

Many Famous Instagram Personality are using Orange and Teal for their photos and one of them is Sam Kolder ( https://www.instagram.com/sam_kolder/ ).

I know that explaining this in words is hard to imagine. Let me show you what Orange and Teal looks like in photos. See below:

Now, you already saw what Orange and Teal looks like. As you can see, it is a good tone to apply in different kinds of photography and I'm not going to lie, I'm quite obsessed with it as well.(lol)

Why Orange and Teal?

Since this is a tutorial on how to achieve it in your photos, I am not going to get in to details on why orange and teal looks good, but just a quick info, most people believe that the reason why it is a great combination is because orange and teal are opposite colors in the color wheel and it can be represented as shadows and highlights in your photos.

Now that we already know how Orange and Teal looks, why don't we get in to steps on how to achieve it in your photos? Ooh yess, Lezzgaw!

How to do Orange and Teal?

Things that you need:
-a Picture that you desired to edit.
-a Computer
-an Adobe Lightroom installed in your computer ( unfortunately, the sliders that we will going to use is not available in Lightroom Mobile. )

Now let's get started!

This is the photo that I will use:

( This is a Straight out of the Camera photo aka SOOC. )

( In this phase, I adjusted the exposure, shadows, highlights and other basic adjustments, refer to the settings below)

Now this is the part where the magic begins. On your Lightroom, scroll down on your adjustment panel and look for Camera Calibration.

Adjust your sliders like this and you should get an image with orange and teal tones on it:

Now your photo should somehow look like this:

( This is the final result of the photo using the settings above and I also added some sharpening and noise reduction to make this more clean. )

Before and After

This is a snapshot of the before and after in my Lightroom using the settings in the camera calibration

Tip!

Also, just a quick tip, just in case your picture is too orange, adjust the Temperature to the left(colder) and if it is too blue, then go ahead and adjust Temperature to the right(hotter)

You can also adjust the saturation sliders, don't be afraid to experiment!

Alright guys, it is easy right?! All you need to do is to follow the steps that I have provided and you will surely get it.

Good bye and Thank you!
