Split toning is a powerful technique originating in film photography to tint the highlights and shadows.
The Split Tone tool gives you creative control over the Hue and Saturation of your highlights and shadows. Use the sliders to adjust the balance of tones in the highlights and shadows of your photos. Split toning allows you to add a creative element to RAW conversion and non-destructive editing in ACDSee.
You can save your settings as a preset for future use.
To Adjust Highlights and Shadows:
You can right-click a slider to reset to the default value.

Create a sepia tone effect by first reducing the saturation of your photo with the Advanced Color tool and then applying a reddish brown hue with the Split Tone tool. Or create a monochromatic black and white photo with a slight tint of hue.
