Tinting a photo

 

Want a cool tint formula for a black and white? First, when you’re in Camera Raw, go to the HSL/Grayscale tab and turn on the Convert to Grayscale checkbox.

Then, go to the next panel to the right (Split Toning) and use this formula:

  • Highlights: Hue=37, Saturation=24
  • Shadows: Hue=40, Saturation=26

Go ahead and try it. It works especially well on urban still life photos.

I can’t explain it, but it just looks cool.

Open in Camera Raw from Bridge

You can open RAW images in Camera Raw right from Bridge in Photoshop CS3. This frees up Photoshop to continue working on your files while they’re being processed in Camera Raw. Just select one or more images in Bridge, Control-click (PC: Right-click) on them, and choose Open in Camera Raw. This will open the image(s) in Bridge’s Camera Raw rather than Photoshop. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Command-R (PC: Ctrl-R).
