0:00 intro
For this photo I wanted to create a sunset / golden hour scene with very intense colors. Of course not everyone is going to like this well saturated look, but I think it fits the scene quite well. The cool thing is those colors were introduced using a combination of white balance settings and split toning in Lightroom Classic.
0:16 1. Basic Adjustments
Before working with split toning its important to set up the base image. We need to restore highlights in order to apply nicely visible colors to them! So, first, I brought down the highlights and raised the shadows to balance the exposure. I also slightly increased the whites to not loose too much contrast. For sharper details I raised the texture while I lowered the clarity to apply a soft look overall. Once the exposure was balanced, I worked on the white balance. To give it a golden hour look I heavily brought up the temperature.
2:26 2. Masking
A few things had to be adjusted locally. For example, I wanted the top part of the sky to be darker with a blue color. Here, I used a linear gradient to bring down the exposure and also the temperature to reintroduce some of the blue tones. I also placed a linear gradient over the foreground adding a bit of clarity and dropping the exposure giving the foreground more detail and a subtle vignetting effect.
4:26 3. Split Toning
To give the image very intense, warm colors, I added a warm hue for the highlights and pushed up the saturation all the way. Again, this comes down to personal taste since it’s a very hefty change. To further work on the warm tones, I added a warm hue to the mid-tones and brought up the saturation quite a bit as well. To have some contrasting colors, I used the shadows to apply a cold color with a low amount of saturation.
4. Photoshop
I cleaned up the image and added some orthon glow on top of it with the gaussian blur filter and the lighten blending mode. - Фільми й анімація

You just made the split toning process much less intimidating and that's quite a feat! Thanks a lot. Also you do explain everything very clearly, and even add a thorough description for every step. That's a sub from me 👌👌
Thank you, that means a lot to me!
Thank you! Having just finished a LrC course I now have a basic knowledge! This video was terrific and re enforced and added to my future use of LrC.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for your tutorials. It makes me feel more comfortable with Lightroom. Keep it up!
thanks Christian! Very helpful and yet enjoyable to listen
Hello, Thanks from Taiwan.
Your Video really help me a lot
Thank you so much!
Great video Christian. Split toning is one of those Lr features that I tend to not think about simply because I don't understand what it is doing to the image that I am editing, I tend to avoid it like the plague in favour of using the HSL and masking for the effect I want. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much! I understand that, I did avoid split toning a few years back as well, but I became quite used to it and now its my favourite color grading tool! Its quite hard replicating the same effects using HSL or masks
Great work Christian! Learning so much from your videos. Thank you.
Thats awesome, thank you!
outstanding video, thanks for sharing. Amazing difference in my edits right away!
As always, terrific to see you work. I've learned a lot from you. Thanks
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the great learning video!
I'm familiar with the techniques but I still enjoy watching the videos. Vielen dank Chris!
Really great to hear, thank you!
All your tutorials are verry helpfull for me, thank you and go on Christian!!👍🏻👍🏻🇳🇱
Thank you so much!
This help I used to only change the temp of the whole picture
I was follow You in my LR and the result is amazing. Thanks for the video !
Very happy to hear that, thank you very much!
Thank you for this video :)
Beautiful end result
Thank you for the kind comment!
Nice job!
I always learned a lot from you christian,thank you so much,kudos 😊
Thank you!
Hey! Great video! Nice work.
Thank you!
I am used to use my Kase filter on landscape photos, it will help me handle the quality better.
Top notch tut! Thanks. I think what would be helpful is to show the technique on two images because it will help explain the process better as it will be used for two different circumstances.
Thank you very much! I should have included a different scene to show the difference of split toning on dark images, you're right!
Great video and instruction! But light room needs add the split toning to the localized mask vs this being a global adjustment...
Thank you! HAving split toning in the masks settings would be sooooo good!
Moin! Gutes Video!
Danke dir
Klasse Tutorial danke dafür
Vielen Dank :-)
@@ThePhlogPhotography absolut verdient mitunter einer der besten Känale bezüglich Lightroom
Great videos... I'm ok with LR and always pick something up. I just can't get into PS and shy away from it. What is your recommendation, it has so much potential but I have a mental barrier to using it.
Thanks for commenting! Photoshop can be intimidating at first, but its really not that bad once you understand the basics! I suggest starting with simple things like trying to add different variations of orthon glow, this will teach you about blur filters, layers, opacity and blending modes in a fun way!

It looks good,but why even going out and shoot a photo? The result is like a lie,it has nothing to do with the reality its not color grading ,this is colour and atmosphere changing
It’s personal preference. It’s about creating art. If you don’t like it, don’t do it.
@@raystrydom8308 Art isnt a answer for anything. I can put sh*t on a wall and call it art,yes a personal preference.... my problem is that people think that its a real nature scene,what its clear not cause its ARTifical,call it art photographie and not photographie and let the people know its pc made
@@getready2019you’re right…that is YOUR problem.
@@harveymanfrantinsingin7373 what problem? I dont have a problem xDIt looks good
