Duotone options
You can select and change the following ink settings for images in Duotone mode.
Type Choose Monotone, Duotone, Tritone, or Quadtone.
Inks Click the palette icons and select colors in the palettes for each ink. Type
process 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 combinations can’t be predicted within Canvas,
you can do this if you have an accurate printed reference for the colors
you select. Overprint Colors settings do not affect color separations, but
will change the appearance of color composites printed on desktop color
printers. In the Overprint Colors dialog box, click the color squares to
open a color selector dialog box. Choose the color you want to represent
the ink combination on screen and then click OK.
To adjust duotone images:
After you convert an image to Duotone mode, reopen the Duotone Options dialog box to adjust the
color curves, change ink colors, as well as use the Load and Save options.
To change duotone options:
1. Select the paint object you want to adjust and choose Image | Mode | Duotone Inks.
2. Adjust the settings in the Duotone Options dialog box and click OK to implement the new
settings.
To load and save 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 Photoshop image-editing program, so you can load files saved from Photoshop, and files saved
by Canvas can be loaded into Photoshop.
Click Save to save the duotone options settings. In the directory dialog box, type a file
name and click OK or Save.
Click Load to use settings from a saved duotone options file. In the directory dialog box,
select a duotone options file and click Open. Canvas will apply the ink and curve settings
saved in the file to the Duotone Options dialog box.
