Technical information
- description
- use two specific colors for shadows and highlights and create a linear toning effect between them up to a pivot.
- purpose
- creative.

- processing
- linear, RGB.
- output

Create a two color linear toning effect where the shadows and highlights are represented by two different colors.
The split-toning module does not convert images to black and white and has limited benefits on color images. In order to perform traditional split-toning, the input to this module should therefore be monochrome.
🔗module controls
- shadows and highlights color
- Set the desired hue and saturation for both shadows and highlights. Clicking on the colored squares will open a color selector dialog which offers you a choice of commonly used colors, or allows you to define a color in RGB color space.
- balance
- The ratio of toning between shadows and highlights. When set to 50%, half of the lightness range in image is used for shadows toning and the other half for highlights toning.
- compress
- The percentage of total (mid-tone) lightness range that is not affected by color toning. This compresses the effect on the shadows and highlights while preserving the mid-tones.
