TECH SUPPORT Doing a Duotone Q. I want to make split-tone images in Adobe Photoshop with Duotone. But after applying a Duotone Image > Mode > Duotone, why are the only options for saving the files PSD, EPS, PDF, RAW and Large Document Format (PSB)? A. Duotone is a color mode, like RGB or CMYK, used primarily for printing on a two-color press. Some photographers like to use Photoshop’s Duotone mode to give images a split-tone look, but it is now easier to create a split-toned image in Adobe Camera Raw. For one thing, Duotone requires you to begin with a grayscale image, and the file can’t be saved as a JPEG. If you still want to use Duotone to add tone to your images, this is the workflow to employ: 1. Convert the image to black-and-white using Photoshop’s b&w filter (or a plug-in) to get a good conversion. 2. Switch to Grayscale mode, discarding the color information. 3. Switch to Duotone mode. In doing so, choose the colors you want for the tones, or use one of the many presets. 4. Switch back to RGB mode. 5. Save as a JPEG or other file type. Do you have Tech Support Question?
