January 26 - Duotone Technique

I LOVE learning something new!
This was a bit challenging just trying to find the right photo...
After that it was easy-peasy! Thank you so much!

 

Day 26 Duotone

 

This was fun!! I loved playing with all the different colour choices but chose this Cherry/Eggplant duotone scheme.

 

Thanks for your thoughts. Yes, I can clip it, and did. Somehow it didn't work. I suppose perhaps if I added another white layer beneath it, clipped all three together, perhaps then I could move it over without a problem...
Trial and error I guess

 

This was a challenge for me, but i love learning new techniques

Thanks for replying Pat.. since I wrote that post, I have spent too much time playing with the site that was posted for doing this any finishing up a BUNCH of challenges... I knew my program had to do it and I knew I was doing it right but the program was not! Just back here now, and pulled the saved images back into work space, and they opened with the gradient map already open.. I did not have to do anything..!. I guess the program must have had a huge time lag... It happens at times... WAY too much on the computer, etc! So it is working now... Thank you so much for replying, will probably spend the rest of the night playing with different color combinations!!! LOL ...Liz

 

I think this is the first challenge I have actually complete the day of the challenge, and I did two as the first attempt wasn't true duotone. I love the character the branches of this tree possess.

I really wanted to pink-yellow, but my photo just didn't seem to work with that, so navy to green it is.

 

I used yellow and red.

 

Thank you so much for the easy to follow tutorial, I changed from CS3 to PSE 9 and now to PSE 15 every time the interface changed slightly, and I have had problems, getting to the sliders because I tried from the tools on the left, and single clicked, so if you were here I would kiss you ( or maybe not since I have a cold ) Have just spent a few fun hours doing non MOC related things with gradients . Anyway here is my page

 

I'm always anxious about recoloring photos and never use filters, but I'm loving the effect that is achieved with the gradient map tool. I never used it before and if it wasn't for this challenge I probably never would have. Thank you so much for pushing me out of my comfort zone! I loved this challenge!

Here is my layout:

 

Here's mine!
