Comments Weekly Comp #152 - Duotone
I've overcome the first gotcha, you can't add coloured layers when your image is in greyscale
I hope he's patient as I'm rewinding him to repeat everything about 10 times.
The lack of entries might be that some don't know how to make a duotone, others may not use Photoshop or something similar that has the option.
It looks as though a photoshop-based competition won't attract as many entries as one with a purely photographic theme.
Yes the later was to be expected but still many programs support duotone I believe.
Adobe have it standard in the Raw converter and I believe Silkypix and Phaseone also have duotone options.
Yes that's a tri-tone, you got white, some sepiaish and purple?

You can see some of my shots at my Flickr account.
(second tutorial of the day)
But I believe the definition differs slightly from which sector you're in however they all agree that it involves two colours or ink so I just keep hold off that.
GlynM and JudithAnn take a creative approach.
I was hoping that Gimp had a better way in doing this.
With programs special aimed at photos you can often make a B&W and give it a tone, Picasa for example does it that way.
The 2nd tutorial on Tri-tone produces more adjustable results.
Anyway, its about the learning for me.
As you've stated quite clearly what you are looking for, it doesn't really matter I guess, in the context of the competition.

I was tempted to enter a sepia or blue toned picture as the brief seems to specifically state that that is acceptable. But apparently not? Confused.com.
My entry is a blue toned and was put in based on "Just to make it clear, Black and White is not allowed as a combination, for example black & sepia, white & red, ect. are" so I assumed white and blue is.
