Duotone Illustrator Cs4 Serial 11
Bubba Lual
In regards to part two of your question, I think it depends on what file format you save it as. For example, if you save the AI file with the linked EPS-duotone as a PDF, I believe it converts it to CMYK (with no great degree of accuracy). I saved the AI file as an EPS and brought it into InDesign, and the Pantone colors I used in the original duotone showed up in my swatch palette, leading me to believe the duotone is intact. Visually it looks perfect on my monitor (I know, I know, that means diddly-squat). However, I do not have a Postscript printer and really don't feel like going thru the hassle of setting up test seps via Acrobat! G'luck!
Select the group then click the hamburger menu in the upper right corner of the window. Then select Add New Fill. By default, the new fill will be black. Click the black and a pallete of your colors will come up. Select your Cool Gray color.
Now, again in the Appearance Panel, click the Opacity label and set it for, say, 5% or whatever you think works. This will put a 5% opacity fill of the cool gray over the grayscale, in effect, creating a duotone.
I am going a little crazy and need help. I am not real familiar with Illustrator, so please bear with me. I need to change some full color files and convert them into two color files. I don't want the duotone look, I want to keep everything that is red, and convert the other items to grayscale. I understand live color/ recolor artwork is probably the best way to accomplish this but for some reason those options are grayed out. I've tried 'select all', the edit/edit colors/... but the options for recolor are all grayed out. I can bring up 'live color' through the 'color guide', but again I am not able to make any selections or changes. Its probably something stupid I am doing wrong, but I've been beating my head against the way trying to figure out what. Please help me out here.
Are you by any chance working with image files placed in illustrator, if so you cannot recolor them using the recolor art art as that can only be done with vector art and raster effects not raster image files.If you want the images to be duotone you are best to do this in Photoshop first convert them to grayscale and the duotone.
You can place a cmyk image into Illustrator and embed it and then turn it to a grayscale then copy the image and paste it in front or the back Command F and Command B respectively. That pt one on top of the other in the same exact position. Then you can select either the top one or the bottom one and then select a color from a swatch or the picker which will turn the image into a colored image then in the transparency panel you can set the blending mode to multiply and that will give essentially a duotone you can control the opacity of each image with the transparency panel as well.
I am embarrased to say Wade was right. I had a batch of files to adjust (some Illustrator, some photos) and I started with the first one I came to, which was a product photo. Duh! I moved on to one of the Illustrator files and the 'recolor artwork' feature was awesome! For the photos, I opened them in Photoshop and used the 'color replacement' tool. Not near as cool, but certainly handy. Thanks to both that replied for the help.
I am trying to manipulate a duotone image in Photoshop 2023. The Pantone solid coated swatches are not available in the swatch picker to change the colors. I have purchased Pantone Color Connect and even with that, the Pantone swatches are not listed in the options for color libraries within the duotone color pickers. Anyone know how to edit duotones in 2023 after the Pantone color library debackle???
If you have or can install an older version of Photoshop with the Pantone Libraries, then it should have the ability to create your Pantone duotones. Then you can bring it back into Ps 2023 for any further work if 2023 won't try and remove it.
I figured out if you just put the CMYK values in of the spot color you want and then rename the duotone ink (with the exact naming convention of the pantone swatches) in the duotone options pallette it works. You just have to manually put the info in.
Before I begin to apply the duotone color treatment to any image, I like to convert the image to black and white by heading to the Basic panel and reducing the Saturation to -100. Head over to the Curves panel and hit the little Curves icon in the bottom right of the Curves panel to enter Point Curve Mode and choose the Red from the Channel drop down menu. Drag either the point in the bottom left or top right and move the point inward or upward to give the image a Red or Cyan coloring in the shadows (bottom left point) highlights (top right point.) NOTE: Red and Cyan are opposite colors.
Choose the Green from the Channel drop down menu and try playing with the same points to affect the colors in shadows and highlights. Green and Magenta are opposite colors and they will be the colors we play with in this channel.

The duotone image file is used to realize this capability.
What is the duotone image file?
This tutorial provides you the answer.
Adobe Photoshop is the photo editting software. Adobe Illustrator is the graphic design software.
Both of them are very popular among professionals but are difficult to master.
To make the file creation simple, in this tutorial, only essential procedures are selected.
If you have never used Photoshop, we recommend affordable Photoshop Elements which is designed for beginners.
Note: In this tutorial, we use Illustrator /Photoshop CS4.
Choose Image > Adjustment > Threshold.
The image should be displayed in black and white.
The image should not be too white or black. Find the appropriate level by moving a slider.
Click "OK" and save the best threshold.
Illustrator is used for finishing the file creation.
Choose File > New
Create a new file.
Click Rectangular from Tool box.
Measure a product that will be printed and draw an outline of it.
In this tutorial, a smartphone case is measured and drawn.
Choose File > Place
Select the duotone image created by Photoshop.
Stack the rectangular image over the duotone image.
Make sure that the rectangular image, shape of a product that will be printed, is at the top of layers.
Select two image layers and right click then select Make Clipping Mask.
The image is clipped same shape as the smartphone case.
Create a color image file after the duotone image.
Right-click on the clipping masked duotone image and select "Release Clipping Mask".
Clipping mask is released and the image regains the original size.
Window > Links > Relink
Select two images and click on "Relink" icon.
File >Place
Select an original color image file.
The duotone image and the color image files are replaced at the same position.
Duotone and color images must be placed at the same position to obtain perfect print results.
Does anyone know of a filter or tool in illustrator that can accurately overlay a series of vector cirles over the top of an image? I can do it the slow way but I thought someone may know of a short cut.

there is a program out ther called rastebator (great name) that takes any .jpeg, runs it through their filter and outputs a .pdf scaled for A1 size paper,that is all circles of varying diameters. I used it to create stencils of relatively detailed scenes to paint on a wall, but it could probably do what you want. I believe that there is a downloadable application that allows you more control, but it is pc only and I havent had a chance to use it:
We all know what a traditional single color web icon font is, but a duotone font is a completely different type of font that has two contrasting colors instead of one color. Fontawesome recently introduced their duotone icon font check it out here for full details about duotone icon fonts
This is another important step. Now we need to use the Unicode used when creating the font. What we're going to do in this step is layer our separated icon pieces on top of each other. For that, we are going to use absolute positioning.
In this article, we have created our own duotone icon font using Glyphs App and CSS. We use Illustrator to vectorize the icons, and then use the Glyphs App to generate those icons into a font. By using CSS, we easily achieve the duotone effect.
Starting with a Photo document with a transparent background and a black graphic, you can select the black pixels by command/ctrl (Mac/Windows) clicking on the graphic's icon in the layers panel, then copy and paste the graphic from Photo into Designer without creating an intermediate file.
Well since Affinity Photo is first at all a bitmap editing/modification program, you can pretty much still do the same in it. Meaning opening some tiff image, selecting some colored areas of that and then replacing the colors with youre own ones.
However, if you mean instead more to trace/vectorize a tiff image inside Affinity Designer instead, then there is no build in autotrace function in that one. You would have to trace (redraw) bezier curves by hand or use some external tracing app (vectorizer) first and then modify (color) the vectorized results in ADesigner appropriate to your likings.
