Photoshop Tip: Richard Avedon Style Black And White DuotonesTo achieve the look of a Richard Avedon photo,
follow this technique from the PhotoshopHelp
Blog.
Convert your RGB file to Grayscale
mode.
Choose Image> Mode> Grayscale.
The file is converted to
a black and white.
Choose Image> Mode> Duotone.
The Duotone
Options dialog box appears.
Click the Type: dropdown menu to select
whether to represent your image with one ink (monotone), 2 inks (duotone), 3
inks (tritone) or 4 four inks (quadtone). We'll start by making a simple duotone
using some of the pre-sets Adobe has provided.
Select Duotone.
By
default your Duotone will consist of two inks, black and white.
Click the
Load button to load one of the pre-sets that have been provided.
The Load
dialog box appears.
Double-click the Duotones folder to open
it.
Double-click the Grey-Black Duotones folder to open
it.
Double-click any of the .ado files to load any one of the two ink
sets.
Using Duotones you can experiment with cooler and warmer ink sets
which will yield richer prints with more depth and
character.
Experiment.
