This is for Drew or someone with authority to veto a photo.
I want to convert my color image to B&W with red, blue, or yellow duotone (haven't figured it out yet) -- first is that legal? and second, are the following steps legal:
1. After i adjusted my color image for contrast/brightness/etc. I am going to convert it to B&W using Photoshop's Channel Mixer option, select the monochrome button and adjust the RGB levelers until the desired effect is shown.
2. After that, i am still in RGB mode and will use the COLOR BALANCE button, shift it to red, green, blue, magenta, cyan or yellow (not sure which one yet). I may repeat this 1-3 times to get the desired coloring.
Is that legal? According to the rules B&W is legal but i am not sure about the duotone part (i.e. adding another color to the image after it has been converted to B&W).

Yes it is allowed, as long as you don't do it to sub-sections of the image.
From the rules :
Image Modifications
Post-shot Adjustments may be made to your image in a photo editing
program, so long as the modification is applied to the whole image.
This includes levels, b&w conversion, hue/saturation, sizing/rotating,
cropping etc. However, no filters (or non-Photoshop equivalent)
maybe be applied to your image with the exception of sharpen and
despeckle, the two of which are allowed. Absolutely no spot-editing
is allowed; the use of any type of selection tool is prohibited.

Thanks, the rules didn't say about after B&W conversion whether you can add a tone to the entire image, but if color adjustments are allowed and the ordering of adjustments or number of adjustments doesn't matter, then i guess it would be OK. just want to make sure.
Invariably i think i will still end up getting a DQ request for submitting the image because with the tint, it'll look unnatural even if it follows the rules.
Thanks for your help. Gotta clean this crap up and get myself out the door to a party.... studio work sucks :) it involves too much crap to have to clean up later. . . . . .

Agreed with Gordon. Gordon?? We're on a first name (only) basis now? Way cool.
I think "Gordon" said it all.

You can write to the Admin with proof of how your effect was done, and they can put an Admin note on it saying that it's legal, if you want. But just cause it gets a request, doesn't mean it will be DQ, so you'll be fine.
