I know you're joking, but not really. I think that Benson guy is 
known for that -- he'll let the highlights go to pure paper white 
with absolutely no dot in the hightlight. I agree; it kinda bugged 
me at first, and still might actually, but I just respect it for what it 
is.

Actually, with duotones, the best education I've found is just to 
start with one of your own greyscale images that you know well, 
put on a good CD, and then just start experimenting with the 
canned Duotones, Tritones, and Quads that come in the PreSet 
Folder inside of PShop. 

I work with those, and then if I get confident, I'll then pick a 
different Pantone color from what is canned, but I'll pick one with 
roughly the same density of value. But still at that point, I try not to 
mess with the Curves that are preset.

All I know is that I felt way out in "Who Knows What This Will Look 
Like Land", once I started messing with the curves. I'm much 
more comfortable in RGB-Land. The duotone interface is not that 
intuitive to me.
