Adobe Tutorial on Photoshop: How to make an image duotone

Duotone: One pantone color and black in one image

Here are a few steps to create this:

Step 1: Open your image in Photoshop
Step 2:Make a background copy if you want too
Step 3: Go up to image
Step 4: find mode and then grayscale
Step 5: you can flatten or not flatten (if you flatten, it will ask for you to delete layers, click yes)
Step 6: Go up to image
Step 7: Find mode, then duotone
Step 8: A pop up box will appear. Type should be duotone
Step 9: At least ONE ink should say black and another ink must be a pantone solid uncoated color
Step 10: You can change how much of the pantone color you want by clicking on the picture that looks like a graph next to the work ink
Step 11: Make sure your image is at resolution 300
Step 12: Go to image, then image size
Step 13: Type in 300 where it says resolution
Step 14: Crop to size of Indesign file
Step 15: Save Image as eps file
