Then I apply it and tinker with it. If the tinkering yields something totally different than the original, tadaa, new preset.

The comments so far are also sound. @Donna - I also like the original - the coldness adds to the story of the image in my opinion. it captures thought, a cold emotion, but when tweaked it shows somthing new, happier. @james - sure, but this article is about lightroom. I think, the fact that the larger images show more "grain" detracts slightly from the photograph. Each image with the subtle tone changes portrays to me a different feeling. That is the art of photography, enjoy and be confident about YOUR work Interesting article, makes me think….. The comments so far are also sound.

Often times, adding a slight touch of complimentary (opposite) colors to the two values can add a subtle punch to your images. For example: adding a very subtle blue to the highlights, and a very subtle orange to the shadows. Great article :) I wanted to point out one other thing about the split toning in Lightroom.

I have been debating as to if to try lightroom or not (compared to just being generic and using my computers default photo program). This article finally pushed me over the edge to download a trial and try it out to use these tricks. :) Interesting article and good read.
