Tone a grayscale image in Camera Raw
Use the controls in the Split Toning tab to color a grayscale image. You can add one color throughout the tonal range,
such as a sepia appearance, or create a split tone result, in which a different color is applied to the shadows and the
highlights. The extreme shadows and highlights remain black and white.
You can also apply special treatments, such as a cross-processed look, to a color image.
Select a grayscale image. (It can be an image that you converted to grayscale by selecting Convert To Grayscale in
1
the HSL / Grayscale tab.)
2 In the Split Toning tab, adjust the Hue and Saturation properties for the highlights and shadows. Hue sets the color
of the tone; Saturation sets the magnitude of the result.
Adjust the Balance control to balance the influence between the Highlight and Shadow controls. Positive values
3
increase the influence of the Shadow controls; negative values increase the influence of the Highlight controls.
Adjust color rendering for your camera in Camera Raw
For each camera model it supports, Camera Raw uses color profiles to process raw images. These profiles are produced
by photographing color targets under standardized lighting conditions and are not ICC color profiles.
ACR [version]
These profiles are compatible with older versions of Camera Raw and Lightroom. The version
corresponds to the version of Camera Raw in which the profile first appeared. ACR profiles offer consistent behavior
with legacy photos.
These profiles significantly improve color rendering, especially in warm tones such as reds, yellows,
Adobe Standard
and oranges, from earlier Adobe camera profiles.
These profiles attempt to match the camera manufacturer's color appearance under specific
Camera Matching
settings. Use Camera Matching profiles if you prefer the color rendering offered by your camera manufacturer's
software.
Both Adobe Standard and Camera Matching camera profiles are intended to serve as a starting point for further image
adjustments. Therefore, use the profiles in conjunction with the color and tone controls in the Basic, Tone Curve,
HSL / Grayscale, and other image adjustment tabs.
To manually install camera profiles, place them in the following locations:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
Windows XP
C:\Users\All Users\AppData\Local\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
Windows Vista
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles
Mac OS
Apply a camera profile
❖
To apply a camera profile, select it from the Camera Profile pop-up menu in the Camera Calibration tab of the
Camera Raw dialog box.
The Adobe Standard profile for a camera is named Adobe Standard. Camera Matching profiles include the prefix
Camera in the profile name. The Camera Profile pop-up menu displays only profiles for your camera.
