Hi folk, My question concerns creating a duotone image. One of my coworkers wants to create an image in which the background is composed only of a pantone color (293) and the foreground has some black and white images. The foreground images can only use black and white, no pantone293. Yes, she could just separate background and foregrouns in two separate files and put them together when she lays out the document. Problem is she wants some soft shadows under the black and white images, so that makes it a bit of a problem. Clipping paths and soft shadows dont really cut it. Any suggestions , or are we out of luck? Thanks everyone, Hops

Thanks kedar. From what I was old by the photoshop user helpdesk, the best way to do this is to make a multichannel image. If you're curious this link explains how to go about it: http://www.planetphotoshop.com/PeteBauer44.html Cheers, and thanks for the reply. Hops
