You originally posted your question in the section reserved for folks who are SHARING techniques, not LOOKING for info on how to do something.

The duotone feature in photoshop isn't hard to use if you read the section of the "help file" dedicated to duotones. Really though, unless you are actually going to be printing a "true" doutone you don't have any use for it. What I mean is, if you are making web graphics, you can just use: >edit>adjust>hue and saturation check the "colorize" checkbox and adjust the hue and lightness sliders to get the color you want. |

Thanks, Chris....I get a wee bit weary retyping that soort of reply. I'm glad you're younger and more energetic, and less cantankerous. |

A follow up to tornupinside: If you are going the print route, then duotones are an effective way to save money on printing costs since you are only using two colours. Use a duotone when those are your constraints. Usually it will be a spot colour and black. But make sure that you are positive that the spot colour you use in PS and the one you use in Quark/Indesign/Pagemaker are the same cause you could find your printer coming to you asking for more money cause its now a three colour job instead of two. One last point, sometimes you dont need a full CMYK job. Duotones are very proffesional looking when done right and used properly. You dont always need a full colour print run. Always consider that possibility when dealing with a client. If a duotone is appropriate, then your client will be more then happy to find out how much money they will be saving. |
