What does the Split Tritone effect change?

Split Tritone maps separate colors into shadows, midtones, and highlights, creating a three-band palette with clearer tonal control than a simple color wash. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Split Tritone?

Choose Split Tritone for album artwork and editorial covers, landscapes with clear shadow and highlight separation, or travel photographs with mixed colors when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains severely clipped channels, color-critical documentation, or images where an exact product color must remain unchanged.
