Now that we created split tones and duotones, this is the perfect time to start
making your own one-click presets. That way, the next time you open a photo that
you want to have that same effect, you don't have to go through all those steps
Creating Your Own
One-Click Presets
in Camera Raw
(converting it to black and white, tweaking it, then applying the Split Toning settings),
you can just click one button and all those settings are applied at once, giving you
an instant one-click effect anytime. Of course, these presets aren't just for split tones
and duotones—make one anytime you want to reuse any settings from Camera Raw.
Step One:
Since we just created that duotone effect
in Camera Raw, we'll go ahead and use
that to create a one-click preset there.
Just remember—anytime you come up
with a look you like, you can save it as
a preset. To create a preset, you click on
the Presets icon (it's the second icon from
the right at the top of the Panel area), and
then click on the New Preset icon (shown
circled here in red) to bring up the New
Preset dialog (seen here). Now, just turn
on the checkboxes for the adjustments
you want copied to your preset (as I did
here), give your preset a name, and then
click the OK button.
Step Two:
Once you've saved the preset, it appears
in the Presets list (since there's only
one preset here, I'm not sure it qualifies
as a list at this point, but you get the idea,
right?). To apply it is really a one-click
process—just open a different photo,
go to the Presets panel, and click on the
preset (as shown here), and all those set-
tings are applied. Keep in mind, though,
because the exposure is different for
every photo, if you save a preset where
you had to tweak the exposure a lot, that
same exposure will be applied anytime
you apply this preset. That's why you
might want to save just the split-tone/
duotone settings and not all the expo-
sure stuff, too.
