: How to achieve 'Orange and Teal' look in GIMP I would like to give the 'Orange & Teal' look to some pictures using only GIMP. I must remark, the question is specifically restricted to

Here's another method. This one uses a Hue-Saturation adjustment in GIMP

Find a similar image of a beach scene.


Click Colors > Hue-Saturation
Hit the Red option, and max out the Overlap slider
Make adjustments to the hue and saturation for the reds
Choose the Blue option, and make hue and saturation adjustments
for the blues.


Example


You can also save the adjustment as a preset. Just hit the Plus icon next to the presets. Obviously the settings might have a different result depending on the starting image, you may need to tweak them to your requirements.

Using the Curves tool you can use curves to achieve this effect.

To make a color adjustment with curves, there are three channels that you can work with: Red, Green or Blue. To get the other colours in the spectrum, you have to mix these by either adding or subtracting various amounts of red, green or blue.

What you are doing is adding "Teal" to the shadows by subtracting red (to get cyan) and adding blue to the darker tonal range of the image. To get "Orange" into the highlights you subtract blue (to get yellow) from the highlights and add some red. If you get a slight magenta cast in the highlights you can add some green to compensate.
