I tried referring to Moodville's wonderful tutorial, but I couldn't apply it to Elements 2.0...If someone knows how to creat duotones, etc. could you please share your knowledge?

Thanks,
Lee

Elements does not allow you to make true duotone images out of the box. But you may want to check out The Hidden Power of Photoshop Elements, which comes with a CD of "Power Tools" that adds extra functionality to Elements. There are also some free tools that you can download. Chapter 5 of the book is called "Color-Specific Correction Tools" and has a section called "Making Duotones".

In the mean time, you can create a similar effect to a duotone as follows:

. Choose Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation.
. After naming the layer (that dialog box pops up first), in the Hue/Sat dialog box, select the Colorize box in the lower right corner, and also click the Preview box (it should be checked by default).
. Move the Hue slider around until you find a tone you like. Click OK.

You may need to add a Levels adjustment layer on top of the Hue/Sat one to add some contrast.
