I have a question about Capture NX2. I have been using it and I think is a wonderful program but I cant find a feature that Lightroom 2 performs in a great manner: Split Toning.
Is there a way to do split toning with Capture NX2?
Thank you very much.
Andrés M.
@Andrés M.G., Yes. Perhaps not as elegant as Adobe Lightroom but it is possible to get something similar by adjusting the curves of each individual R, G, B channel.
