Mike in Photoshop

Just a little note on what we were doing with Mike in our photoshop tutorial, finally learnt how to do a Duotone correctly and not make it look like a snails lunch.
First we needed a full colour image, I just grabbed a photo of when I went to egypt.
Converted to grayscale, adjusted the contrast, etc, the went to mode and selected Duotone. 








After that I toyed around with the various levels presented to me, just to essentuate the various tones present in the image, and to get to grips with what a combination of colours can do for an image, not just purely on an aesthetic basis, but a practical one.







With the option to do more than just duotone, there is also tritone, and quadtone. So I though I'd pop a cheeky tritone up just so you can see how lovely they can be.
