After already looking at the theory and some examples of color grading as seen in film production, we now focus on the practice. We’ll show you how you can easily create various color tint combinations in Zoner Photo Studio X, recharging your portrait and landscape photography. Specifically, we’ll demonstrate how to create the popular Teal & Orange look. We’ll go through each edit step-by-step so you can skillfully do it with your own photographs.

In this article, you’ll learn how you can create the popular and well-known Teal & Orange look, used in Blockbuster hits, with Zoner Photo Studio. We will be working in the DevelopModule.

Teal & Orange in the Develop Module

This Orange and Teal Mobile Lightroom Presets Pack is designed to bringing out the orange and teal colors in photos. It increases contrast, decreases highlights and adds shadows and whites. Increasing clarity it mixes colors in a unique way to create a powerful take on the popular orange and teal. Seamless Integration with Photoshop, Capture One, Lightroom & Lightroom MOBILE. Teal-Orange Pro Balance 3D LUTs are implemented as Profiles in Lightroom Classic/CC and as Styles in Capture One. They are fully compatible with both RAW and JPEG files.

First, we suggest that you even out the tones of your photograph. Correct Exposureand change the White Balancesetting to a neutral value. Only then proceed to work with colors.

After completing the rest of the edits, you can certainly return to this slider and fine-tune the final atmosphere of the photograph.

With this photo, we’ll demonstrate how to create the Teal & Orange color grade. The final product shouldn’t be used in an encyclopedia of botany, because it would make many botanists shake their heads in disbelief. In the cinema, however, you frequently see movies with this type of color grade.

Shift primary colors

The basic trick for achieving Teal & Orange color grading lies in using the Shift Primary colors tool, which is found in the lower half of the DevelopModule. When editing photos, one usually proceeds from top to bottom. However, when color grading Teal & Orange, start at the bottom.

You essentially shift the red and blue hues in opposite directions. Adjust Redhues to their maximum value of 100. Put Bluehues at a value of 75. Again, we can return to these settings again and subtly fine-tune the colors later. With these basic settings, you can’t go wrong, and they’ll work for most photos. Be especially careful with the Greenhues slider. If you want to maintain natural colors, don’t touch this slider.

This color property of Teal & Orange is the trick up your sleeve. You can create an aesthetically-pleasing image even from a very plain photo. It will be pleasing to the eye even if at first glance, it will have a limited range of color between shades of orange and sky-blue, which incidentally are complementary colors.

Fine-tuning with Color Shift

In the second step, we will focus on Color Shift. You amplify the effect as follows:

We shift red, orange, and yellow hues to warmer colors, that is, to the left. We edit the rest of the hues according to our creativity. In this case, the blues of the sky were overly saturated and unnatural. I lowered the blue and sky-blue Saturationto a value of -10.

Before RAW photo and After with Teal & Orange tints added after processing. We amplified the effect with additional shifts to warmer tones using White Balance.

You can cleverly use Teal & Orange Split Toning for portraits, but it’s important to be careful with skin tones.

Tried and true Split Toning combinations

Split Toningis another powerful tool you should pay careful attention to when color grading. With Split Toning, you can color hues separately in the lights and in the shadows. In contrast to Primary Color Shift, this process is much more intuitive, giving us specific, harmonious colors noticeable in our natural surroundings.

Objects in the shade frequently have a dark, cold tint represented by shades of blue, while objects illuminated by direct sources of light – like the sun – reflect warm colors with hints of yellow and orange.

In the color theory framework, there are complementary colors, meaning colors on opposite sides of the color wheel. So again, we arrive at Teal & Orange. However, other color combinations based on the same concept are possible. How do we do it?

After basic adjustments to exposure and white balance, proceed to the Split Toningtool and try one of the following combinations:

Split Toningis one of the tools you can use to add your own unique color style to use as a “signature.” This makes your work stand out from that of other photographers. When you find a specific combination of Split Toningwhich works on all your photographs, be sure to save this as a preset for Split Toning.

You’ll then be able to easily apply it to all of your photographs, even those you upload to Instagram. We guarantee that your portfolio with have a consistent and professional look.

In closing

Thanks to the steps in this article, you can change the overall look of your photograph. If you want to change the color of individual objects – cars, clothing, and so on – we still have local adjustment tools which allow you to change hues selectively, using the Radial(R) or Brush(B) filter.

For coordinating and side-by-side split toning, Variants will work great for you. When creating new presets or arranging important photographs in a set, I often leave the first photo without any color shift as a reference to compare the new look.

If you find you don’t like a single color adjustment from any of your photos, it doesn’t matter. Perhaps this photo was meant to stay in its original form.

Similar to how Lightroom presets work, styles in Capture One allow you to apply many adjustments to your RAW photos all in one swoop. You can, therefore, give your photo a specific creative look with only one click.

I've been doing a lot of my RAW editing in Capture One lately, and this has given me the chance to create some interesting styles. Here I decided to share them for free so that you can use them in your edits. For now, you'll find 25 Capture One styles, but send me a message here if you'd like to see more added over time. These styles are compatible with the latest version of Capture One (Capture One 20).

Some of these styles create quite a drastic effect, so don't hesitate to apply them to a new layer instead and reduce the opacity of the style layer so that it fits your photos just right. To learn more about styles in Capture One and how to use them, refer to this post.
