shouldn't it say process your photo using only two tones...
Edit to add: Not trying to be anal, just that many cameras do not allow photographing in b/w or sepia...

duotone means 2 colours.

The wording says: "eg b/w, sepia ETC". Is an image containing only 2 solid colours (eg everything in the pic is either blue or red) duotone?

What on earth are those supposed to do who use Paint Shop Pro? Doutone is still ILLEGAL for basic editing with that program!

I'm a little confused how a program different than adobe or quark handles duotones and why it would be illegal?
|

Brent: Duotone legality in PSP.
Which means, if I meet the challenge, I'll be DQed.

I take it PSP doesn't have a native duotone function? Where yuo can pick the ink levels seperately?
|
|
|
|

No, it does not have that function. For more detail, read the thread above. In one sentence, what Photoshop users can let the program do automatically, PSP users cannot (legally) do manually.

so if i understood that confusing stuff right: if i use photoshop to convert my picture into duotone, i'm allowed to do that also with "gradient map" ?or only by desaturate the pic with the "hue/saturation" adjustment?

All other types of layers (including those that contain pixel data or masks) and all other blending methods (modes) are prohibited.
This is the part of the rules which causes problems to PSP users.
If we had special rules for this challenge, this might be a possiblity:
You are allowed to duplicate the background (original) layer and change its blend ranges and change its blend mode to 'Color'.
That would be enough for making duotones legal. It is what Photoshop does behind the scenes.
I could write a quick tutorial then.

A duotone is a 2 color (spot color) printing of a b&w photo.
I'm not sure how you would pick spot colors for your layers in PSP.
You should get Photoshop!! :D

| just go out and buy a 20D - they let you shoot b/w or sepia right in the camera |
|

BTW, sepia and black and white are not really duotones, but monochromes. In that respect, the challenge description is somewhat contradictory.

did this in psp....hues/sat, brightness/contrast. That would be legal wouldn't it?
|

|
02/15/2006 05:21:18 AM · #23 |
| Yes, but it's a monochrome. |
