Create your own duotone image in 3 easy steps with photoshop!

What is duotone? It is when you have a photograph and use two colours in the image – no more, no less.

So why would you do this? And how can YOU do this?

Well firstly its a great way to jazz up your photos, but also it keeps all your brand collateral, especially your photo content on socials and website consistent. It is also a great way to keep your brand and it’s amazing colours at the forefront to your audience.

So how do you create it for yourself?

It’s simple, easy and will make your imagery on brand, on point and super easy to do.

  1. With your photograph in photoshop Select layer > adjustment layer > gradient map.
  2. Select from the preset gradient colours or choose your own from the drop down menu. 
  3. Adjust the slider as needed to add more colour to the shadows or the highlights, click OK! 

Sit back and admire your genius.
