Don’t you just love those photos with the dark gritty effects? Or the ones with the soft and dreamy look?
As always in photo processing, these styles can be achieved many different ways! In this video demonstration, I will show you the easiest way to add dramatic and cinematic styles to your photos in Lightroom using split toning.
The effects you will see in this video demonstration are available in my Cinematic Lightroom Presets which you can download for free! I will also show you how to make your own.
Get the free Cinematic Lightroom Presets here.
The presets will also work in Lightroom Classic version 10, which was released in October 2020. In this version, the split toning panel was renamed to “color grading”, but it works the same way with a few extra features.

Not only do you get to tone the highlights and shadows, but you can also tone the midtones.
I hope you enjoy the tutorial, and feel free to share!
