Not that there's anything inherently hipster about the Poor Knight's island diving experience, but having failed to take a good photograph the entire trip (I was too busy being sea sick and dealing with ear pain) I decided to turn one of the less-fail shots into a practice in post processing.
Adobe Lightroom doesn't have RGB curves. Instead, it has a simplified control known as the split-toning. It lets you apply different colour cast to different tonal ranges. This is handy for emulating the old film look, since films had the property of having different colour layers responding differently to the same intensity of light. Some films had green or blue cast in the shadows, while burning into warm yellow on highlights.
This property of films, commonly considered a 'problem' back in its day, is now back in fashion thanks to the imagined nostalgia of the masses.
