| I've entered the challenge, and I know my entry is duotone, because I used the duotone mode in CS3 to create it. But I'm preparing myself for a brown ribbon, because it's not the sort of image most DPC voters like. But I like it, so I'm going to inflict it on the the voters regardless. |

We can fight it out for the Brown :-) Unless Whiterook or Chariebaker or GeneralE enter...
Those guys are pros...

Oh, I'll be in -- I love duotones, to the extent that I've made real duotones (and tritone) on a process camera with screens and printed on an offset press and everything* ... however the only part of my entry which will be "intentionally brown" is if I choose to go with a traditional sepia-tone look ... :-)
*they're printed as greeting cards -- send me a mailing address if you want a sample ... |

| I see the Picnik online photo editor has a nice simple duotone mode under "create" You just upload your image and click on create then scroll down to duotone. You can select any 2 colors and play around with it till you get what you like. Check it out here: //www.picnik.com/ |

Does it all come down to whether or not white counts as a tone? Does Split Toning mean Duotones for the purposes of this challenge?
I did this just as an experiment - would this count? Split toning Green and Red in Lightroom.

Likely it will be greeted poorly by voters. Duotone typically means one color and black - often shades of blue (cyanotype) or red (sepia)
fixed typo...

If you split tone with two different colours in Lightroom you're creating a tritone.
I think. |

| I have one I love but I'm afraid it's not a DPC type shot. Oh well, when has that stopped me before? |

| I'm in! I know it's a duotone because I used the Duotone Mode option in CS3. So there. |

So did I! I found this challenge quite difficult and challenging. Very excited at this moment! |

Help would be greatly appreciated! It sounds like a fun thing to experiment with :D
thanks! |
Wendy, I am working on this in Elements now...assuming that you have Elements 7 go to Enhance > Convert to B&W - Follow the basic instructions on the tutorial (you will see that your colors = 100% for each choice) then I made a 3rd layer went under Enhancement again > Adjust Color > Color Variations (this is the Split Tone - I think) not sure if this helps you or not...but this is what I am bumping around with...PM me if you have any wonderful discoveries... |

There is another thread that mentions a free program called Picnic. There is a link there. |

I don't know if people would consider this a true duotone or not, but here's another method I've used to achieve the effect of "toning" a photographic print as part of the development (actually, this is what printed duotones attempt to simulate):
-Convert to Grayscale Mode
-Convert to RGB mode
-Create a new adjustment Layer for Curves (or Levels)
-In the adjustment, select the Blue channel
-Move points or arrows around to add color as desired; in one direction you should add Yellow which will add with the B&W to five a somewhat sepia look, in the other direction you'll add Blue and get a cooling effect, similar to using a selenium toning solution.
I'll see if I can find an example ... |
