Pierre, My first questions is WHY? If you had a 16bit image Lightroom will
be OK, color or B&W. While some may have a color for selenium, I view that
as some trying to make platinum prints without platinum. If you just
desaturate your 16 bit color image and then "save as" you 'll have an RGB
file with no color, then add color, reddish, bluish, or whatever you do to
make selenium. Or better yet, just take your RGB 16 bit file into Lightroom
and do your color adjustments there. 

 

If you're really happy with the duotone color, convert it to RGB and then
import that file into LR. This is another situation where Adobe doesn't
support their own code.

Subject: [Digital BW] Importing 8 bit duotone images into Lightroom w/ PSCS2
compatibility enabled

 

Hello,

I wonder if someone here might have stumbled upon a situation I am
faced with and found a solution.

In order to mimick a selenium toned image I converted a 16 bit color
image into greyscale then down to 8 bit and finally into a duotone.

I tried to import this image in Lightroon but it doesn't want to
cooperate.

I had similar issues on some images where I hadn't enabled
compatibility mode but in this case I even saved it as a copy with
compatibility mode enabled but still no joy.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Pierre
