* Aqua and Orange Color Tone Editing in Lightroom – Step-by-Step Guide
The Aqua and Orange color grade is widely used in travel and cinematic photography. It creates a vibrant contrast between blueish-green (aqua) tones and warm orange tones, making images more visually appealing.
Step 1: Import Your Photo
1. Open Adobe Lightroom (Classic or Mobile).
2. Click on Library → Import Photos.
3. Select the image you want to edit and click Import.
4. Switch to the Develop module to start editing.

Step 2: Adjust Basic Settings
Before applying color grading, we need to adjust the basic image properties.
1. Exposure – Increase or decrease depending on the brightness of your image.
2. Contrast – Increase slightly to make colors pop.
3. Highlights – Reduce to recover details in bright areas.
4. Shadows – Increase slightly to bring out details in darker areas.
5. Whites – Adjust to ensure the bright areas don’t lose detail.
6. Blacks – Decrease slightly to add depth.
These settings create a balanced base for color grading.

Step 3: Adjust White Balance (Temperature & Tint)
1. Go to the Basic Panel.
2. Temperature – Move slightly towards warm (Yellow) for an orange effect.
3. Tint – Adjust slightly towards green to enhance the aqua tone.
* Pro Tip:
If your image already has warm tones, avoid increasing temperature too much.

Step 4: Tone Curve Adjustments
The Tone Curve allows for finer control over contrast and color shifts.
* Steps:
1. Open the Tone Curve panel.
2. Click on the Point Curve Mode.
3. Adjust the RGB Curve:
- Create three points on the curve: Shadows, Midtones, and Highlights.
- Slightly lift the shadows for a faded effect.
- Increase highlights for more brightness.
4. Adjust the Red, Green, and Blue curves:
- Red Curve: Lower shadows, raise midtones.
- Blue Curve: Lower highlights, slightly increase shadows (adds a warm orange glow).
- Green Curve: Adjust slightly for a balanced look.
This step is crucial in achieving a cinematic look.

Step 5: HSL Adjustments (Hue, Saturation, Luminance)
The HSL Panel is where most of the Aqua and Orange effect is created.
* Hue Adjustments:
- Reds → Shift slightly towards orange.
- Oranges → Shift slightly towards red to enhance skin tones.
- Yellows → Shift towards orange for warmth.
- Greens → Shift towards aqua to match the teal look.
- Aquas → Shift towards blue for a deep teal effect.
- Blues → Shift towards aqua to blend with the teal color.
* Saturation Adjustments:
- Increase orange saturation to enhance skin tones.
- Decrease yellow saturation to avoid an overly warm look.
- Increase aqua and blue saturation to make water and sky stand out.
- Decrease green saturation to remove excess greenery.
* Luminance Adjustments:
- Increase orange luminance to brighten skin tones.
- Decrease blue luminance to create a deep aqua tone.
These adjustments create the signature Aqua & Orange look.

Step 6: Split Toning (Color Grading Panel)
The Color Grading Panel enhances the cinematic effect by adding tones to shadows, midtones, and highlights.
1. Open the Color Grading Panel.
2. Adjust Shadows:
- Hue: Around 200-220° (Teal)
- Saturation: Increase slightly to add aqua in dark areas.
3. Adjust Highlights:
- Hue: Around 30-40° (Orange)
- Saturation: Increase slightly for a warm glow.
4. Adjust Midtones (Optional):
- Hue: Adjust between teal or warm tones depending on preference.
- Saturation: Keep subtle.
This step enhances the contrast between warm and cool tones.

Step 7: Apply Effects (Texture, Clarity, Dehaze)
1. Texture – Increase slightly to enhance details.
2. Clarity – Increase slightly for depth.
3. Dehaze – Increase if the image looks hazy.
Be careful not to overdo these settings.

Step 8: Add a Subtle Vignette
1. Go to the Effects Panel.
2. Adjust Vignette (-10 to -20) for a soft cinematic border.
This effect helps focus attention on the subject.

Step 9: Use Calibration for Final Color Adjustments
The Calibration Panel fine-tunes colors.
1. Red Primary:
- Increase hue towards orange.
- Slightly reduce saturation.
2. Green Primary:
- Adjust hue slightly to balance skin tones.
3. Blue Primary:
- Shift hue towards teal.
- Increase saturation for a stronger effect.
This step finalizes the orange and teal color grading.

Step 10: Final Touches and Export
1. Review the image for any necessary tweaks.
2. Use Selective Adjustments (Radial Filters, Graduated Filters, or Brushes) if needed.
3. Click File → Export.
4. Choose JPEG (sRGB, High Quality) for sharing.

1. Click the Before/After (Y key) view.
