I've created a doutone in Photoshop, saved as a eps and placed it in InDesign (all CS5). The file will separate correctly in Photoshop but the second color will not separate correctly in InDesign. Can't find anything addressing this issue.

I have a problem with duotone, before when I use to use this technique, I would do grayscale->Duotone, and in the duotone box I would get a list of preset colors such as PANTONE 122c, but now when I go there i just get box where i must select my own color with the mixer, how do i get these preset colors back?

I am trying to get a duotone (or maybe tritone?) effect - with copper and blue.
how to create this effect? I am calling this duotone for the lack of better word, which it may not be. I am fairly sure two colors dominate. I do not have the original image so I canot tell what the colors looked like before adjustments.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI need help with separating a grayscale image into dark and light channels. Specifically what I am trying to do is take a grayscale image and divide it into two (or more) channels representing the lower and upper percentages of black. I am doing this so that I can create a black and light gray spot color separation. In screen printing, the lower values of gray tend not to come out and get dropped when burning the film onto the screen. Additionally with dot gain being what it is in screen printing (30%+), it is advantagous to split the gray channel into two channels with only the upper half (50% or more black) into one channel, and the lower half (less then 50% black) into another channel. I have tried to eliminate both upper and lower halfs without altering the other half but can't figure it out. To explain another way, imagine completely elimimating 50% black or more from the histogram without altering the 49% and lower values or compressing them, and then again in reverse, keeping the 50%+ and completely eliminating the lower half.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two Duotone images generated using CS5. One is of some trees, with "holes" cut out where the leaves were (I used a a mask to generate transparent regions where the leaves should be), and another Duotone image of just the leaves. I would like to combine the two, with each Duotone image retaining its unique and different color scheme. If all went well, the leaves would be visible in the transparent "holes" of the tree image. However, when I try combining the two, by dragging one on top of the other, they both take on the Duotone color scheme of the trees image. So I do see the leaves in the "holes", but they have lost their unique coloring. Is it possible to combine these two Duotone images in some manner? The Duotones are saved in the default .psd format.

I have a duotone image (warm grey and black) as an eps in photosho linked to Illustrator file. I need to be able to adjust each color as needed in photoshop. It is already setup as a duotone image and correctly separates in illustrator. I can do overall adjustments as needed but I would like to be able to throw a curve/adjust each color on it's own as needed in photoshop, and then relink.
OS MAc SnowLeopard, CS5.
I have this image, which is CMYK, and need to create a (green and black) duotone.
Best steps that I need to take with this. I am not sure what PMS green I want at this stage.
For a long time I have been struggling to find a good workflow for what I would call "multi channel color separation". What I want is to reduce a full color RGB image into an image with only a limited number (e.g. 5-8) well-chosen colors, for instance to use as set of masks for screen print. (I'd also like to use this as an effect in itself, mimicking a typical 'screen print' or 'litho' effect on an inkjet print)
The idea is to create a set of monochrome layers or spot color channels. Colors are to be selected by myself (so not necessarily RGB or CMYK). Each channel/layer has to be a continuous tone that I transform myself into a dedicated half tone screen (e.g. with the Andromeda screen filter).
Till sofar it is clear to me. My issue is: How to separate the image in the predefined set of colors?
I can not just select a color range: I can adjust a "tolerance" but that is too general. I need the pixels of with a specific hue but with the full range of lightness (e.g. all the purple pixels that range from dark/medium purple to very light purple). The dark colors can be made dark with a black channel. I'm not sure how to deal with the saturation range.
An approach that gives sometimes a result that is to some extent acceptable is to transfer from RGB mode to an Indexed Color mode and use a custom palette. However, this does not give much control on the halftone screening process.
I envision for instance an approach of filling a layer with a solid given color, select in one way or another only those parts that correspond to the original image and subtract that layer somehow from the image. This process is then to be repeated for each color. Up till now I have not been able to figure the right options to do this. But maybe there is a better way to do it.
One final wish: it would be great if the process can take into account that some layers in the final print are (semi-)transparent. In my opinion this would exclude just selecting a color and deleting de pixels.
I have a 2-color logo that is in TIFF format but was created as CMYK. It is black and Pantone 323. I am using it in a two-color job and need it to be in the 2 spot colors. I changed it to grayscale and then changed it to duotone, but the colored part shows up pretty muddy and dark looking, like it has too much black in it. I have tried changing the curves but that doesn't seem to help much. If it is duotone and the colors are specified to the printer, will it print correctly, even though it looks yucky onscreen?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHoping someone can help me out with this - it's been one of those gaps in my knowledge that I've never really gotten around to filling. I've looked around the net a number of times, but it's also one of those things that I don't really know what to search for. I'm guessing it would come under some kind of duotone or limited palette affair.
So much so, that I can't even find an example image to show you what I'm talking about
Everyone has seen what I'm talking about I'm sure. If you imagine a nice, sharp, black and white photo - then imagine superimposing a colour on top. So you have the same nice sharp contours and tones - except you now have black, colour shades and white - instead of grey shades.
If you wan to use duotone to give that depth and vide variety of tones you cannot use the BW adjusment layer correct?
Because you need to start with a greyscale to get to duotone, correct?

The when I try to change modes to RGB so I can save as a jpg it goes all b&w. Never had this issue before. This seems to happen only when I use the artistic filter graphic pen. I go to graphic pen use it, then grayscale, then duotone, then rgb.

how to print a color seperation with half tone using photoshop cs6 or cloud suite with a canon mp970 printer with no postcript function
View 1 Replies View RelatedWith a RGB or CYMK no problem for me to have certain element in the picture distinguishing from the rest. But now I have to do the same building up in duotone (2 PMS colours). It looks like Photoshop doesn't allow to put a black&white layer into a duotone document (it automatically turns into the 2 duotone colours).
So how can i make a duotone image (source = FC) in which a part looks "black and white" (1 colour=black) and a part "lights up" in the second colour (2 colour= yellow)?
- so I know how to make a duotone image, that's not the problem
- i know how to work with layers and masks
(i try to upload the image.. but server seems very busy...)
I have tried this feature with mixed results. Scaning 2,3 or 4 pictures of different sizes, changing angles using an HP8600 Multifunction device. I have tried both scannig using HP software and directly with Elements at 200, 300 and 600 dpi. Elemets will sometime split off one of the pics but is not reliably sepatating them all. What ca I do to improve my results? I have a lot of pics to scan and really don't want to do them one at a time.

View 2 Replies View RelatedYesterday CD upgraded itself as I turned it of to go home from work, when starting it the day after all seemed to be as it was util I should print out a color separation. Suddenly I now have to check every color that I want to print out, the only color that doesn't need to be checked is black(cmyk black) all pantoen colors have to be checked.
Why is this changed?
Can I set it up so all colors is to be printed as default?
Also having some trouble in exporting to EPS, when exporting all seems fine, but the file appears to be empty, the next exported files seems to be fine thou. First export is always empty.
I want to create objects and export them out into a JPG or PNG. My question is, can I create the artwork as a whole (multicolor/object artwork), having different objects on different layers and export all the layers to created into multiple PNG/JPG files ... with one click?
For example, when someone does screen printing on tee shirts, they have a 3 or so color graphic. I would need to export each color individually as a raster image (Export one, then export again, and again and agian blah blah blah). That would be needed to create mulitiple silk screen frames.
I am unable to save .pdf versions of color separations. I followed the tutorials (changed all colors to cmyk or spot colors, selected the printer adobe post script, changed the output to Separations (host-based), desected the colors I didn't want on the separations), but something goes wrong when I save. When I click save, I am given no option to save the separation as a .pdf. The program seems to be unable to save the separation as any sort of readable file. In the drop down box where it should provide a .pdf option, it merely says "All Files." If I save my separation using this option, then Illustrator creates a file unreadable by Acrobat Reader.
