Re: Split tone profile

2006-11-10 by njfranknj

If your B&W toning process allows, you should be able to achieve split
toning effects using Photoshop's Duotone process.

Now that I have a decent profile (thanks Cathy!) I can print neutral,
metamerism-  and "greenie-"free B&W in RGB or Grayscale modes with my
2200 and MIS Pro color inkset and find that using a Duotone (tri- or
quad-, too) I can define the tone of highlights and control the
application with the curves and ink definitions. The method is very
versatile, maybe too versatile for me, since I never developed any
darkroom preferences, I can get bogged-down with all the possibilities.
