Thanks for commenting, Jeff. You may want to apply the color filter adjustment in a new layer. Then use the brush tool and the gradients to control the application of the effect. Check out our Local Adjustments video, it demonstrates the process.

Hi Phil,

Thanks. I’ll reach out to Jeremy and see what images he has available.

Hi Luc – Yes, that preset was made to work with Exposure X2, which is why you’re not seeing it when using Exposure X. Here is a version of the preset that has been made for Exposure X.

I have imported the version you made into Exposure X
I can see the file in the Alien Skin\Exposure x\Exposure folder
But I can’t see it when I open Exposure X and look for it
It’s not listed anywhere in the presets
Am I missing a step ?
Thanks
Luc

Thanks for commenting, Michael. I would take a look through the Faded presets in Exposure. One of the common themes in that group of presets is lifting of the black values. Faded blacks are common in Brandon’s work. Also, check out our Creating an Orange and Teal Look video, which could get you on the right track for adding color casts.

Hi Laurence – give the vibrance slider a try. It controls the intensity of the more subtle or muted colors in the image, without adjusting colors that are already strong, so it’s a good choice for adjusting skin tones.

Hi Paddy,

Thanks for commenting! I like that look myself. You can make an orange and teal look in Exposure. Here’s how:

On the Basic panel, add contrast, clarity, and vibrance.

Next, use the Color Saturation controls on the Color panel. You want to add saturation to the greens and blues.

Then, use the Split Toning controls on the Tone Curve panel. Apply an orange/peach color to the highlight areas and a teal/baby blue on the shadows at moderate strength.

Next, edit the Blue and Green channel curves with the Tone controls. Raise the blackpoint and lower the whitepoint on Green channel curve, then raise the blackpoint on Blue channel curve.

This should get you in the ballpark of an orange/teal preset. Looks like this is subjective, so the exact numbers will vary depending on your eye and artistic interpretation. Here is a version I made.

To install the preset, just double click on the file, and it will automatically install via our settings router tool.

Any tips?
