If someone has a problem not being able to make a duotone and therefore not being able to compete.

Do you mean with the 'rnrn' instead of new paragraphs? Just tried to edit it for you to see if it made a difference but it came out the same. Will report it as a bug.ps. does the Competition Details looks strange to you as well or is it just my PC?

This happens regularly when a judge hits return and ends up with rnrrn.
Have you managed to cure it for just Anvh's competition or all future comps. :

Well, I only reported it, but the IT team say that the bug's been found and fixed, so all being well it's fixed for future comps too.Have you managed to cure it for just Anvh's competition or all future comps. :
I've just had a quick flick through previous bug reports, and can't see that this one's been reported before, even though we were obviously aware of it. Perhaps we should all remember that if there's something odd happening, fire off a bug report and it will be dealt with as soon as the team are able.

The judge will decide, but sepia toned pictures, for example, were speciifically allowed in. I can see how that would turn many entrant's thoughts to toned pictures in general. Blue toning can look effective with the right subject.
Best regards, John

I understand completely what Stefan is looking for BUT, duotone in printing terms means two ink colours in addition to the paper colour. Usually this means black and grey on white paper resulting in a richer 'monochrome' image. Most quality B+W photograpy books are printed using this process.
As in many things Photoshop's terminology is borrowed from earlier technologies and doesn't always mean precisely the same thing.

Stefan has added a clarification (not sure when this was added).

From Wikipedia:
•Duotone is a halftone reproduction of an image using the superimposition of one contrasty color halftone (traditionally black) over another color halftone. This is most often used to bring out middle tones and highlights of an image. The most common colors used are blue, yellow, browns and reds.
Strangely, the word duotone does not appear in the Oxford, Collins or Chambers online dictionaries.
