I am looking to tone some of my images like this. How is he achieving this muted tone. White retaining a relatively natural saturation.

I'd try making the changes to a dupe layer. Then try varying the Opacity. If that didn't work, I'd try using a Layer Mask on the dupe layer. Or maybe some of both. ;)

For toning I like to choose a colour from the colour picker at 50% brightness, fill a new layer with it, set the blending mode to Overlay and adjust the opacity as desired.

Of course you could just use the toning function in ACR.

+1 for using ACR, which is capable of producing amazing tonal effects.

I'd suggest messing with the temperature, saturation/vibrance, HSL and finally the split toning sliders. Once you've got the first image right, copy and paste the develop settings via bridge to the other images in your series.

The great thing is it's non-destructive and you don't even have to open PS :)
