Adjusting duotone images
After you convert an image to Duotone mode, you can reopen the
Duotone Options dialog box to adjust the color curves, change ink
colors, and use the Load and Save options.
To change duotone options: Select the paint object you want
to adjust and choose Image > Mode > Duotone Inks. Adjust the set-
tings in the Duotone Options dialog box and click OK to implement
the new settings.
Loading and saving duotone information
Use the Load and Save buttons in the Duotone Options dialog box to
work with files of duotone options information. Canvas uses a file
format compatible with the duotone options files used by the Photo-
shop image-editing program, so you can load files saved from Photo-
shop, and files saved by Canvas can be loaded into Photoshop.
Click Save to save the duotone options settings. In the direc-
tory dialog box, type a file name and click OK or Save.
Duotone Options
You can select and change the
following ink settings for imag-
es in Duotone mode.
Type. Choose Monotone,
Duotone, Tritone, or Quad-
tone.
A Inks. Click the palette icons
and select colors in the pop-up
palettes for each ink. Type pro-
cess and spot color names in
the text boxes.
Overprint Colors. Click to
adjust the screen display of
the Duotone inks. Because the
appearance of spot-color com-
binations cant be predicted
within Canvas, you can do this
if you have an accurate printed
reference for the colors you
select. Overprint Colors set-
tings do not affect color sepa-
rations, but will change the
appearance of color compos-
ites printed on desktop color
printers. In the Overprint Col-
ors dialog box, click the color
squares to open a color selec-
tor dialog box. Choose the col-
or you want to represent the
ink combination on screen and
then click OK.
