In this lesson of the photoshop section we're going to learn about this tab right here called Split
Tony.
I'm using the photoshop one file that we edited before with some exposure and basic adjustments which
I still have applied.
What split Tony does which is sort of similar to HSN Al is allowing you to edit a specific part of your
photo using highlights or shadows and adjusting the hue and the saturation of that part of the photo.
So for example for the highlights if I take this first Hughes letter and drag it around nothing happens
but if I put it to say blue or like aqua and then I increase the saturation.
What happens is all of the highlights of the image become more saturated with this hue that I've selected.
So now with the saturation all the way up I can adjust the hue and you can really see what's happening
so I can get this really cool interesting effect.
Now the saturation doesn't necessarily D saturate and make it black and white.
It's just adding how much saturation for this hue to the highlights skipping down to shadows.
This allows us to add the same sort of color to as to just the shadows.
So first let's move the saturation all the way up to 100.
To start out now let's adjust the hue so you can kind of come up with these kind of dual tone effects
like this where the darks or the shadows of your image are blue.
But the highlights get this sort of pink magenta.
You can adjust how this is balanced with this balance slider going to the left will sort of wait it
to the shadows going to the right will wait your adjustments to what you've chosen in your highlights
up here.
So this is again just a creative way to make your photos more interesting.
You don't have to go so crazy with the saturation though which gives you a more subtle maybe realistic
or maybe not so unrealistic ick effect that still looks pretty good.
You know if we want this image to have that sort of menacing stare make it a little scary or maybe we
want the shadows to be a little bit darker blue and like we have it the highlights which is most of
the same space to be sort of that orange or red.
Pretty scary right.
Awesome.
So this is the split toning tab if you have any questions let me know.
Otherwise play around with it and I'd love to see any image you come up with it.
So feel free to post them to the class or tag us on social media with your photo post and we'll check
them out.
