TLR Split Toning

You can use the TLR Split Toning action set to simulate the split tone photographic process to your monochrome images. Just be sure you have an image in RGB, CMYK, or L*a*b mode. The actions apply color balance adjustment layers to your image. It is intended to be part of a future TLR Professional Photographic Effects Toolkit.

You can also use these actions to give color images an interesting effect.

Available split tones include:

  • Blue/Cyan
  • Blue/Sepia
  • Cyan/Green
  • Cyan/Sepia
  • Green/Magenta
  • Green/Yellow
  • Magenta/Orange
  • Magenta/Yellow
  • Red/Green
  • Red/Sepia
  • Yellow/Blue
  • Yellow/Red

The PhotoKit Color Effects Toolkit uses pixel-based layers to conceal its operations. This means more RAM is required to work on the image and the file size bloats. Every image pays a performance penalty.

With the TLR Split Toning action set, you get adjustment layers that can easily modified by the user. You have complete control over the resulting tone by adjusting the opacity of the layers or the settings on the Color Balance adjustment layers.

TLR Split Toning action set is a free download. Try it. If you like it, keep it and use it.

Enjoy!
