(oh and dead flowers - but that's another much longer story)

Does anyone else duo?

That's a really nice duotone effect. I've done some experimenting with Gradient maps which is a similar process. I find it retains more detail and you have more flexability than with duotones :shrug:

Saw this on your website Nigel, hence my comment in your welcome thread. :lol:

I love this look to flowers (alive or dead!) how is it done?

Really like that nigel :thumbs:

Good shot that Nigel - and suits the process very well.

[nigelcampbell]

Thanks - as for how it's done - well I'll post up a photoshop tutorial if you like - but not today (yet again I'm surfing when I should be working);)

Great, just learning PS. :thumbs:

Lovely shot there Nigel.

I like them too but i find that when i save as jpeg or for the web i loose the duotone and it saves as b&w or greyscale

[DiddyDave]

Nice shot Mr THX - but you should have been stood 5ft to the left for a much better shot

Where I was!

Hi PPP - not sure what software you use for post processing (I use photoshop CS) but the trick is to make the duotone and once you're happy with it convert it to RGB.

Give that a try and see what happens.

Gorgeous stuff here,
Really love the rose ... works beautifully :thumbs:
Been meaning to have a go at toning for sometime, so Ill be interested to see how this thread unfolds.

That would be great Nigel if you could :)

Cool, i am using CS3 so will give that a try tonight many thanks

Yep, that's the way, greyscale images limit the amount of options available so I find it better to "create a new document from current state" discard the colour information via greyscale & duo/tri/quadtone & then convert back to RGB - if for any reason you need elements from your original image, you have a copy readily available :thumbs:

Edit: Nice image that is Nigel :thumbs:
