Duotones intended for use in InDesign, PageMaker, or QuarkXPress documents, or high quality print output require much more complicated processes, and are beyond the scope of this tutorial.
However, in order for you to be able to see the duotone effects, which are wonderfully subtle, I wanted to show you a fairly large image, and one of reasonable quality.
Duotones can only be made from Grayscale images, so your first step will be to convert your image to Grayscale.
Duotones, whether made traditionally or in Photoshop, are usually created to add a color tint to fl and white photographs.
First the duotone was created (in Duotone mode) and then the mode was changed to RGB and the gray square area was selected and completely de-saturated.
Generally duotones are made with fl and a second color but can be made with a primary color other than fl, like dark brown or dark blue, but this may tend to shorten the tonal range of the image rather than enlarge it.
