About Duotoned

Subtle color makes the mood.
Share all things duotone, tritone, and quadtone.


A duotone is:

Duotones, basically, are images that began as a grayscale monotone. Whether you use a camera setting, hand tinting, or image editing application to colorize it, the key is that it is still in essence a b&w photo.

Duotones are generally black and one other color. Tritones use a total of 3 colors, and quadtones use 4.

A duotone is not:

A duotone is not a full color photo where the content falls into a narrow color range, like a red apple on green grass, or that photo you forgot to set the white balance on and it came out all orange looking.

A duotone is not a cutout, where you desaturated the background.

A duotone is not hitting the posterization button.

Editing policy:

Photos will be shamelessly edited from the pool if they do not fall under the generally understood definition for a duotone (tritone, quadtone), or have other effects applied that trump the duotoned look. If a member has, for example, one photo out of 100 submissions like this, that one photo just gets deleted.

On the other hand, if a member posts a plethora of non-duotones to the pool (exact definition of "plethora" depends on our mood that day), all their images will be removed from the pool and the member will be banned from the group, without notice, explanation, or pangs of guilt.


Visit Sepia for all things toned sepia (where the color applied is in the yellow to orange range).
