    Duotone - How to have b&w image with red text?

    That's right, this printer doesn't make adjustments. I think he's pretty old school. Larry are you saying there is a better way to accomplish this in Indesign? In the future, when someone sends me a 2 color graphic, I will definitely ask for a layered psd file. That will make things more...

    Duotone - How to have b&w image with red text?

    Wow, it must have been late. Definitely red. :) Thanks for the help and the tutorials. I'll definitely read (or watch) them. If I'm understanding you correctly, I need to take the color out of the gray channel. I selected the gray channel, loaded the same selection that i used to fill the red...

    Duotone - How to have b&w image with red text?

    UPDATE: I researched spot colors a bit, and even though I don't really understand them, I tried this: Converted to grayscale, selected all text that I wanted red, selected new spot color from the channel panel, selected my 485 color. This converted the text to red, and when I opened it in...

    Duotone - How to have b&w image with red text?

    Thanks for the replies. I've never done anything like this before, but the printing is actually for a 2 color newspaper. The printer had me choose a spot color for the text in Indesign. I used pantone solid 485,I believe. I'm needing to convert full color photos to 2 color images for the...

    I'm brand new to having things like this printed. It's actually for a 2 color newspaper. The printer had me choose a spot color {pantone solid 485, I believe} for the text in Indesign. Now, I want to use that same color for graphics that already exist. I tried opening the image in Photoshop...

    Duotone - How to have b&w image with red text?

    I understand how to use the magic wand to color the text, but I need (I think) to save it as a duotone in order to save it in Indesign for the printer. So, I first saved it as Grayscale. I have to then convert it in order to color it red again. I converted to CMYK. I changed the text to red...

    Duotone - How to have b&w image with red text?

    I was sent a jpg image that is primarily black and white, but has red text. It's flattened, but I need to give this image to the printer to be printed that way - the only red will be the text. I tried converting it to greyscale, then to duotone, but it puts a red tint on everything. I've tried...
