Step Three:
Now that you can see what's going on,
click-and-drag the Highlights Hue slider
until you find a highlight hue you like.
For this image, I'm using a Hue setting
of 50, and I also increased the Highlights
Saturation amount to around 50 to make
the tint a bit heavier.
Step Four:
Let's add a teal tint to the shadows (a
fairly popular spilt-tone combination) by
dragging the Shadows Saturation slider
to 50 (so you can see the shadows hue),
then drag the Shadows Hue slider over
to 215, and now you see that teal tint
in the shadow areas. There is one more
control—a Balance slider, which lets
you control whether your split tone
favors your highlight or shadow color.
Just drag left, then back right, and
you'll instantly see what this slider does
(here, I dragged the Balance slider over
to the left to -10, and you can see that
the split tone now has more teal in the
shadow areas). If you do find a split-
toning combination you like (hey, it
could happen), I'd definitely jump to
page 167 to find out how to turn that
into a one-click preset, so you don't
have to go through all this every time
you want a quick split-tone effect.
