duotone

[sibelius]

Does anyone know how to create a duotone image? I can do this in Photoshop easy but I cannot find a way to do this in AP. I can turn the image into monochrome but where is the feature to then change to duotone?

It should be possible using a Gradient Map Adjustment Layer with two colours and then add a Brightness / Contrast Adjustment Layer to get the desired effect. if you need further information, let me know :)

Leigh, isn't that just tinted RGB? True duotone would be a greyscale image with two pantone colors attached with response curves, and must be saved as EPS (or PSD) to preserve duotone plate information.

I'm talking about the duotone photo effect. I'm sure sibelius will clarify what he's trying to replicate.

Yes it would be nice for AP to generate REAL duotone, tritone and quadtone (2, 3, and 4 spot colors applied to the same grayscale image via tone mapping curves per each spot color plate.
