Hi Tyler,

Thanks for the reply. I was already afraid you were going to give an 
answer like this ;-). It would have been too good to be true to find 
the Magic Bullet ;-). Nevertheless, you have pointed a route that's 
worth exploring. Till so far I didn't take split toning too serious. 
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have a try.
