[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 526752, member: 13090"] Thank you! Well, here's my best explanation, and it's going to be a little rough around the edges because I'm certainly no expert on the topic. The term "Duotone" comes from ink printing where a printed Black and White image is considered "mono tone" because it was produced using only a single tone: Grey. There may be several different SHADES of grey but they're still all the same TONE: Grey. Duo-tone introduces a colored ink to the process that allows for a broader gamut of greys. Tri-tone images use three inks (grey and two additional color inks) and Quad-tones use four inks. In Ps you create Duo's, Tri's and Quads by going to: Image > Mode > Duotone. From there you can choose to do a Monotone, Duotone, Tritone or Quadtone image. Next, using the Color Picker, you select your "inks". Each "ink" you select comes with a Curves box that allows you to adjust how it affects the overall image. That's the process in a nutshell. Someone who understands the technical aspects of Duo-toning please feel free to correct me/elaborate as needed. [/QUOTE]
