Dual Tones in the same Image

Dual Tones in the same Image

2005-05-06 by David Sinai

Hi,

I am trying to print a portrait of a head shot. My goal is to make the 
head shot warm or sepia (possibly somewhere in between). But the 
remaining backround of the image I would like to be closer to a normal 
black.  That is I don't want the background to have hints of sepia or 
warm, but rather I want it to be a cool black.

Can someone put me in the right direction?

Also, is it possible to see a soft proof of this particular combination 
before I print.  I do have the soft proofs provided by Carl Schofield.  
However, my particular situation is quite different.

Thanks,
David

David,

This is not possible with QTR.  It works from a single B & W channel.
 You would need to use selections in Photoshop and then convert to
duotone and then to RGB and print as a color image.

David, I used duotones (duo/tri and quad) before using QTR to help with metamerism. Toning helped as opposed to very neutral b/w. It works very well but not nearly as well as QTR for that purpose. However, for what you are using, its probably the only answer.
