Duotone is a great technic, it really allows to make your personal hint, blue, sepia or whatever. I work with 4 for of the time. And the great thing in PS, is that you can record them in order to use exactly the same PP when needed. You've managed it well Anina. That's excellent.

@Florence: I don't know if you can help me, but I was "struggling" when saving it. As soon as I save it in Photoshop it changes the color. It tends to go more towards b&w and looses some of the second color. Do you maybe have a solution for this?
Awesome this treatment, superb landscape. Beautiful day.

@MARIANA: Thanks for those steps - I followed it step-by-step, but have one concern: As soon as I save it in Photoshop it changes the color slightly. It tends to go more towards b&w and looses some of the second color. Do you have a solution for this?
Nice work and I really love this processing. I've never tried duotone myself, now I'm curious. Bravo!

Do you work in RAW or JPG ? Are you sure that you've recorded your pictures in RGB ? It may impact the result. When you're in Photoshop, in the IMAGE menu, select Color Mode. Then select RGB color.

Gorgeous... love the way you postprocessed it! Ah.. I didn't know anything about duotone... until now! :)
