step four: Next, select the appropriate white balance for your situation. For this photo, I chose Daylight from the WB drop-down menu in the Basic panel, then dragged the Temp slider left to 4840 to make the image bluer, which goes well with the water. I also added a bit of magenta by sliding the Tint to +23 because I’m addicted to magenta!
step five: To give a stylistic look to a photo, go into the Split Toning panel. I selected a warm color for the Highlights by setting the Hue to 30. You won’t see a change in your image until you raise the Saturation. In this exam- ple, I set the Saturation to 46. For the Shadows, I selected a blue color by setting the Hue to 227 and the Saturation to 50. (I like this contrast; it’s the “Hollywood look”!) Now you can use the Balance slider to fine-tune the split-toning effect. If you move the Balance slider to the left, it will favor the shadow tones, and if you drag it to the right, it will influence the highlights.
