JAY LAY TONING Lightroom Presets.rarl
Indira Rossetto
The first two sliders are for the highlights. In the normal conditions, we need to tone just a little bit, no more than 10-12 of the Saturation. But for the starters, we may shift the saturation to the right, then pick appropriate Hue and then move Saturation back. Also, holding Alt while changing the Hue will show the selected tone on the photo. I have chosen some orange colour (hue 35) and some cyan colour (hue 204) for the toning. The numbers may differ for each image.
Hi other people who had this question. I have an answer that might help. When you import your photos, set it to 1:1 under the build previews dropdown on the right (before you import). This doesn't full solve the problem, just creates the "darker" preview you would've seen when switching from library to develop. To fix the darkening issue, select all your imported photos in lightroom in the library, and go to the drop down beside quick develop then > defaults > camera settings. This bring your photos back to how they looked (pretty much) when you took them based on the back camera screen view. I hope this helps!
As someone who shoots a variety of subjects, such as weddings, street photography, fine art, and still life, I quickly realized that these presets work well for scenes that focus more on objects or wider street photography scenes. In the shot above, I used the "Deep Blue Wonder" preset, which gave just enough of punch to the image and still left plenty of room for adjusting the white balance or split toning to change the mood. I found these presets work very well for a variety of still life shots where getting the skin tone right is of no concern.
In the pack, you will also find a few more distinct looks given by two split toning presets "Pastel Split" and "Outdoor Fall Split." Personally, I wouldn't use these for most of the daytime shots, because they are quite strong, but I found "Outdoor Fall Split" to work nicely with nighttime photography, as per the example shot below, where such strong toning doesn't take away from the image or make it look unrealistic. This type of preset I would have preferred as a color profile instead where the user can adjust the strength of the look; otherwise, it can be too overbearing.
A less colorful and thus more utilizable preset is "Teal Orange Workout," shown below, which falls somewhere between the two split toning presets and the rest of the pack. Again, I didn't find this to work on shots where the skin tone is concerned or of importance, but it gave a nice touch to street photography scenes, which can afford to slightly depart from truly realistic colors. As someone who often shoots street photography myself, I've found that I am not always looking for anything but a few simple adjustments, because I want the shoot to still look realistic and to retain the colors.
In regards to photographs featuring people, I slightly struggled to make the presets work for me. This is fine if you are a photographer who primarily documents travel, landscapes, street scenes, still life, and others, but if you want to start shooting portraits, you will need to work harder to achieve an appealing shot. In the example below, the only preset that worked for me was "Forest Peace," and clearly, it is just a basic starting point, which admittedly, is what this preset pack is meant for. If you are looking for a more unique look, you will need to start using the tone curve, split toning, and make other adjustments in Lightroom.
For the price, this pack is certainly worth the money for people starting out in editing and for those who only use subtle changes in post-processing. It is easy to fall for trendy preset looks, which will age very quickly, but this preset pack gives a more lasting look, because the changes made on each image, except in the two split toning looks, are quite simple. I understand that not everyone sees the appeal of heavily edited images, which is where this preset pack shines.

Of course, unlike in the darkroom, with digital images, we start with a color image. The images I am using here is the original color RAW image directly from Lightroom. What you will see in each subsequent image is a one click application of one of the three black and white lightroom.
Anyway, you can change an image by a remarkable measure by including split toning in your workflow. Do you use SLRL Preset System or something like VSCO or Mastin Labs, the use of split toning will enable you to take those presets further, and to allow you to differentiate your look from that of others using those presets.
In fact, this sort of combination is so popular and using split toning to achieve it so favorable, that many of the presets we enjoy and filters we use on apps like Instagram, Facebook, and VSCO, use both the color combination and split toning to achieve it. You may not see it, but when you hit that HB1
The Balance slider is simply there for you to fine tune the proportion of your split toning in shadows and highlights. The further right you travel with it the more pronounced the highlight toning will be compared to the shadow toning, and the more to the left, the more prominent the shadows will be, naturally.
Each preset in this collection softens the blacks and adds a subtle split-toning effect, giving photos a gentle, subdued quality reminiscent of vintage film photography. This technique is particularly effective as wedding photography Lightroom presets, as it can add an element of romantic nostalgia to the images, making them appear as if they have captured moments from the past.
Just as the name suggests, this Lightroom presets is all about making your photos look more clear and brighter. The preset can be used to add clarity as well as for adding texture and toning effects to your photos as well.
Split toning is a method of processing an image that colors the highlights and shadows separately. This is a process that has carried over in the digital age from the darkroom. It allows photographers to adjust the colors in an image without toning the entire image at once.
Complementary colors are opposite each other on the color wheel, like orange-blue, red-green, or yellow-purple.
Analogous color schemes can also work well for split toning too. These are colors that are next to each other on the color wheel, like green-blue or orange-yellow.
On a color image, split toning adds to the existing colors. Using the split toning options, you can choose subtle toning. Or you can choose toning that starts to overpower the other colors in the image.
Split toning can be used as a creative tool to play with the colors in an image. But split toning can also be used as a corrective tool as well. Used with color images, split toning can make color corrections or add film-inspired or other creative effects.
I like these a lot, very nice options in each set and a lot of styles at your fingertips. It's hard to find good portrait presets for lightroom, and these are among the best i've come across. highly recommend. price is right too. thanksyou.
The Bouquet preset is designed to transform your photos by adding clarity along with sharpening and subtle split toning. The result is an impossibly chic wedding look that would be perfect for professional photos, social media and blog posts.
Thanks a lot for the article. I am just a regular user, not a professional photographer so I usually use lightroom presets from my cellphone. They help me to make photos in my instagram feed look alike.
