	Jay Arraich’s Photoshop Tips - Duotones
		Duotones intended for use in InDesign, PageMaker, or QuarkXPress documents, or high quality print output require much more complicated processes, and are beyond the scope of this tutorial.
		However, in order for you to be able to see the duotone effects, which are wonderfully subtle, I wanted to show you a fairly large image, and one of reasonable quality.
		Duotones can only be made from Grayscale images, so your first step will be to convert your image to Grayscale.

	APOGEE PHOTO MAGAZINE: Creating Duotones
		Duotones, whether made traditionally or in Photoshop, are usually created to add a color tint to fl and white photographs.
		First the duotone was created (in Duotone mode) and then the mode was changed to RGB and the gray square area was selected and completely de-saturated.
		Generally duotones are made with fl and a second color but can be made with a primary color other than fl, like dark brown or dark blue, but this may tend to shorten the tonal range of the image rather than enlarge it.

	About duotones
		Duotones are used to increase the tonal range of a grayscale image.
		Sometimes duotones are printed using a fl ink and a gray ink--the fl for shadows and the gray for midtones and highlights.
		Duotones are ideal for two-color print jobs with a spot color (such as a PANTONE Color) used for accent.

	Adobe Photoshop Duotones
		Anyway, duotones are a bit of trouble because you cannot accurately predict the results on consumer printers.
		In effect, duotones are a combination of two grayscale images, using two negatives and two printing plates.
		The duotone effect is achieved by imaging the two negatives with different (sometimes very different) tonal ranges.

	Creating & Exporting Duotones - DTP Painting Programs
		Once selected, a window appears enabling the choice of the Spot Colours needed to print the image as a Duotone picture (two spot colour inks) and adjustment of the tone curves of the chosen colours.
		Duotone, Tritone etc. images can be converted back to RGB or CMYK.
		Not relevant to duotones but, in high quality publications included fl and white pictures can look a little special if produced as CMYK images although the stock and press need to be of good quality too to avoid colour shifts.

	Duotone
		A Duotone takes a monochrome grayscale image and allows you to take the tonal range, from lightest tones to darkest, and allocate a different colour to specific part of the tonal range.
		This dialog is the heart of using Duotones and a great deal of experimentation is needed.
		If this is the case, and Duotones interest you, this is a good excuse to pick up a calibration program and spider and finally calibrate your screen.

		View the PDF version of this file: Brochure.PDF This is a "Brochure" which is designed to be printed on the front and back of a piece of paper, then folded in half, like a book.
		Duotones are also used by major printing companies.
		The process used to make a duotone is exactly the same as a color separation, except for the fact that only two color ‘separations’ are produced, one of which is always fl.

		A Duotone takes grayscale images and allows you to change the tonal range of that image from the light tones to dark tones, and create a different color range.
		In Duotone you are able to overprint colors, fl as your shadow and add a secondary color to your highlights/midtones.
		To apply a duotone effect to certain parts of an image you can change the duotone image to Multichannel mode, which will change the duotone curves to spot channels.

	Monkeyfist.com: The secret talents of duotones
		In an effort to glean some useful duotonic tricks, I stumbled across this little piece of quite clever research.
		This project addresses the special case of selecting inks for duotone printing, a relatively inexpensive process in which just two inks are used.
		Traditional duotone printing almost always uses fl as one of the two inks.

	Reproducing Color Images as Duotones
		The long-term vision inspiring this project is that inks should be chosen to exactly reproduce all the colors present in an original image.
		Viewed in three-dimensional color space, the original image colors are a cloud of points and the duotone gamut is a curved surface with straight edges.
		The corners of this surface are the colors of the paper, each individual ink, and the combination of both inks.

	From Black and White to Duotones - Photo Tips @ Earthbound Light
		As a general rule, I am in favor of editing techniques that preserve the underlying image data unaltered and actual Duotone conversion requires that your image first be flattened and converted to Grayscale.
		The actual Duotone Mode built into Photoshop was designed to facilitate commercial printing needs so some of the terminology such as "PANTONE" and "process colors" might seem confusing to the casual user.
		A given color image can in fact have any number of fl and white and duotone layers saved with it without getting in the way of the color data for the image itself since all these extra layers are Adjustment Layers.

	Duotones in Photoshop Seminar
		Duotone reproduction of fl and white photographs by offset presses with multiple inks allow for a richer and more controllable ink density than is possible with a single ink.
		This Duotone reproduction technique has been used for decades to imitate the tonal range, beauty and color cast of printed fl and white photographs.
		Steve was involved with the creation of the duotone feature in Photoshop in 1992, and wrote all of the sample curve pre-sets that ship with Photoshop to this day.

	Printing duotones
		Duotones, tritones, and quadtones are grayscale images printed with two, three, and four inks.
		In these types of images, colored inks are used to reproduce tinted grays rather than different colors.

	Shutterbug: Fun With Photoshop
		Duotones, as well as tritones (three colors), and quadtones (four colors) are an effective way to make an original color or gray scale portrait more dramatic.
		(Photoshop 5.0, by the way, uses the term duotone for duotones, tritones, and quadtones.) So, thanks to Photoshop 5.0, you can still shoot your portraits on color film, then create original duotones works of art in the digital darkroom (after you convert your color pictures to gray scale images).
		Sure, there’s more you can do to enhance duotones even further, like adjusting the individual curves of the colors, but telling you all the duotone possibilities would take up several pages of this magazine.

		Most people consider fl and white images as two color prints but in the printing world that would only be a one color print.
		Duotone comes from a printing process that uses two colors (usually fl+1 color).
		You won't be able to control the curve of the effect using this trick but it will give you the basic effect.
