Recently I have discovered how to make a duotone , a tritone, etc in PS CS. I like the brownish tones in this tritone (Black, Pantone 613C, Pantone 263C).
Please let me know what you think about this picture. |

I like it. Nice and warm. Did you convert it to B/W in PS or did you shoot it B/W with your 20D?

| I like playing with duotones (and tri and quad-) a lot. That looks like a pretty good experiment to me ... I'm not a color expert, but to me the main purpose of using them is to accentuate tone and depth and not to reproduce realistic color, and this does for me. |

| I have decided that all pictures, even intended to be in B&W, I take in color. So I don't use the B&W option on the 20D. I don't really see the benefits of this feature. |

If you came across the modern equivalent of the Pentagon Papers and your priority was maximum number of frames in minimum time (and color was unimportant) it might come in handy : ) |

Its going to be slower to shoot 'B&W' in camera than colour (though probably not noticeable either way) Extra processing step...
I used tritones/ (quad/duos) for a while, but have now switched to using curves to add tint, it just seems a whole lot more intuative compared to the slightly alien feel of the offset printing controls.

I think the idea for the B&W feature was to be able to immediately review B&W tone, exposure and histogram info in the field. Probably more accurately stated: It's so you can chimp in B&W.
