How to Make a (Good) Duotone Image

Yes, I’ve been away for a bit. Thanks to Dan for checking on my status, which kind of made me feel a little like Abe Vigoda. In case you were wondering, he’s still alive.
Anyway, I’ve been running around like crazy trying to tie up a thousand loose ends before I undergo minor back surgery on Thursday. I’ll be out of work for almost three weeks, so I’m hoping to be around more often, at least for those three weeks. Thanks for being patient (pun intended) with me. On to the good stuff.
I’ve included a video tutorial created by Revver user jennyrusks who can be found at Laughing Lion Design, based in Dublin Ireland. Jenny clearly explains how to create a duotone image, which is just that - an image of two colors. Pay attention, because this is some good stuff. I’m going to be posting my own camera phone duotone (that’s catchy) soon and I’m thinking about taking a page from Chica’s book and asking for submissions.
Enjoy the video and I’ll be back on Wednesday with another Wordless Wednesday abstraction.

I’m still alive too, for those that were wondering…
Shame on me for jumping to the video before reading all the blog post. I wondered when you changed your name to Jennifer…

I’m going to guess that the female voice threw you off as well. I hope. ;)
Glad to hear you’re still alive. Congrats.

Ooh, I like the video, very neat effect. I’ll give it a go!
Glad you are alive (unlike gecko whom I’m guessing got squished….) and I hope that your surgery goes well and as a bonus, we get to hear more from you. Every cloud and all that…. :)

Right, silver linings and such. This silver lining is in the form of an almost 3-week, paid convalescence. :)
Gecko flew off the car, probably got squished, but I cannot confirm that. The optimist in me says he landed safely on the pavement, crawled to the weeds and found his true love. They had babies and went on to open a successful rest area in honor of their meeting place.

Thanks. Just wanted to be sure everyone knew. Your third sentence could have gone either way, if not for the link that not everyone will click on. ;-)

LOL, I just figured out what you meant. Dan, Abe Vigoda, it’s all the same. They’re both alive. :)

Ooh If you ask for submissions, I’m so sending one in. :D

Gotta be a camera phone shot. But I may bend the rules just this one time. :)

Hi Pete, thanks for the link and the kind words on the video, glad you got something out of it.
Thanks for stopping in! And thank you for the great tutorial.

That was great! I’m still amazed at all that Photoshop can do.
I love that Irish accent! Fantastic. Could listen to her for hours.
Can’t wait to show this to my daughter.
Good luck on Thursday, Pete.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Jennifer has many other tutorials, some of which I will probably use in future posts. Hopefully, I’ll get some new ones done myself.
