• | To change an image to a duotone |
The following four variations of the color mode correspond to the number of additional inks:
• | Monotone — a grayscale image colored with a single tone |
• | Duotone — a grayscale image colored with two tones. In most cases, one is black and the other is colored. |
• | Tritone — a grayscale image colored with three tones. In most cases, one is black and the other two are colored. |
• | Quadtone — a grayscale image colored with four tones. In most cases, one is black and the other three are colored. |
Specifying how overprint colors display
Duotones hold their color ink information when you save to EPS, PDF, Corel DESIGNER (DES), and Corel PHOTO-PAINT (CPT) file formats. Other file formats don’t support duotone images.
