Classic toning was created to provide photographers a style they can call their standard or timeless edit. This is a punchy toned edit with plenty of dynamic range to push the highlights, mid-tones and shadows past the capabilities of your camera. If you are tired of flat and dull tones, this is the toning style for you. Your highlights will not be blown out and we’ve included structure to provide a level of detail and clarity unmatched by editing with sliders.
Paired with this punchy tone set are 6 color grade options to complete your creative vision. Using black & white and 5 of the most famous cities, we’ve built this custom for your lab to level up your client’s portfolio to a professional level.
Below we have provided before & after edits to showcase your Classic Toning + Color Grade product.
Toning Style: classic black & white
Black & White removes all the color and focuses on the rich contrast and tones of your image. This punchy grade will push the highlights, mid-tones and shadows to their maximum range. We’ve also included a rich silver tone effect to make your black and white image look out of the ordinary.
