A couple of commenters mentioned the colour of my photo for the Low Tech challenge. It was supposed to be sepia, but I got the comment it looked either green or yellow. On two laptops I use, it looks fine (one is more B&W, though). On one old desktop monitor, it does look yellowish, another it looks greenish.
Any further comments?

Me too - a very pale either green or yellow, they become very close at such light saturations.

A very deep orange with gently graduated pink spots. Nice.
... Oh alright - it's green/yellow again.

The bright side of that small shed-like structure is
C = 8%
M = 2%
Y = 44%
k = 0%
so if you printed this on an offset press (like greeting cards) it would indeed be closest to a "greenish yellow"
I make sepia-tones in Duotone mode, most often with Black and an orangey-brown (often PANTONE 143). After it looks like I want I convert back to RGB. |

I also like the results of using duotones (or tritones or quadtones) for creating sepia or other toned images. One issue iwth PS, tho, is that you must convert to 8-bit grayscale prior to going to duotone mode. That's problematic. I wish you could go through 16-bit grayscale, but apparently this is one area where 16-bit support in PS CS is still lacking.
The only real work-around I know of for this is converting each 8-bit coor channel (R, G, & B) individually to a duotone, and re-combining later. Does anyone know of a better method?

Here's an option that preserves the 16-bit mode for the image and uses an adjustment layer which leaves the underlying color if you decide to tweak it later or revert.
1. Set the forground color to the color you want
2. From the menu, Layer | New Adjustment Layer | Hue/Saturation
3. In the Hue/Saturation Dialog Box, check the Colorize checkbox.
If the color is not exactly what you want, you can tweak it by adjusting the Hue slider. |
