Split Toning layers<br />
When you apply a Split Toning effect, it will create a layer group containing two layers.<br />
The lower layer produces the shadow <strong>to</strong> mid<strong>to</strong>ne coloring effect and is set <strong>to</strong> an opacity<br />
of 50%. Increasing or reducing the opacity will produce a stronger or gentler color in the<br />
blacks <strong>to</strong> mid<strong>to</strong>ne areas of the image.<br />
The layer above that is a semi-transparent layer (also set <strong>to</strong> a 50% opacity), that applies<br />
a second color <strong>to</strong> the mid<strong>to</strong>ne <strong>to</strong> highlight areas. By adjusting the opacity of these two<br />
layers you can fine-tune the split <strong>to</strong>ne effect as desired.<br />
Working with full color images<br />
Although the Split Toning series were designed <strong>to</strong> colorize monochrome images in RGB<br />
mode, they will also work nicely on full color images as well.<br />
You can experiment with Pho<strong>to</strong>Kit <strong>Color</strong> <strong>2.0</strong> by applying more than one effect <strong>to</strong> the<br />
same image. After applying each effect click on the layer set eye icon <strong>to</strong> hide the layers<br />
and then choose a different effect. You can achieve many different color combinations<br />
by hiding or revealing different layers in the layer stack.<br />
Try rolling the mouse over the two Layer palettes displayed on the right <strong>to</strong> see what the<br />
split <strong>to</strong>ning treatment can do <strong>to</strong> a full color image.
