Subject: [Digital BW] Duotone printing

Hi,

I've been reading the forum messages for some time and have learned a lot.
On the other hand, I still have just one printer and the standard color ink
set.

I am attempting to print using duotones and quadtones.  I use digital
cameras and Photoshop6 and a Canon S800 printer.  I profile my monitor and
my printer.

I am a little confused about the proper Photoshop color settings.  In
particular, what should the setting be for the "Gray" working space?  Any
other tips about duotones and Photoshop settings would also be appreciated.

Thanks for your help and the interesting forum.

A long time ago a very wise fellow told me to use Gamma 2.2, something 
about it matching the gamma of Adobe (1998) RGB, the color space I 
prefer to use... I might have screwed that up, so he can correct me if 
my reasoning is wrong, but the space isn't...  ;)

I prefer the tri or quad's over the duo's for inkjet output. As has 
been pointed out, Michael Reichmann has a good tutorial. You can also 
achieve a nice amount of toning using levels, and sometimes the 
colorize feature in "hue/saturation" while in RGB. I find it depends on 
the image, as sometimes the hue/sat method can lend a cast, rather than 
map the tones with great depth as the Duotone method does. And 
sometimes the mid slider approach in levels can alter the compression 
and expansion in a displeasing manner.
