However by adding an extra tone to a greyscale image not only can you change the mood but also improve the chances of a high-quality printout; with another layer of ink at its disposal the printer is able to create more tones and therefore separate the image into a wider variety of possible outputs. This will mean the contrast and colour separation in the printout should be much better and your stale greyscale image has also gained a new warmth and depth as a result. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ephotozine.com/article/Customisable-Duotones-in-GIMP-10611"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.ephotozine.com/img/DFD4EC60-1173-48D7-ACFB-67C20A31F166" alt="Image of a truck" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ephotozine.com/article/Customisable-Duotones-in-GIMP-10611"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.ephotozine.com/img/CA999DCA-43F7-41C8-B415-397AA07938E2" alt="Creating duplicate layers in GIMP" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ephotozine.com/article/Customisable-Duotones-in-GIMP-10611"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.ephotozine.com/img/7978D272-86BF-479F-9448-BCDE5E32CD17" alt="Desaturate box in GIMP" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ephotozine.com/article/Customisable-Duotones-in-GIMP-10611"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.ephotozine.com/img/44C63101-1949-4939-A1DD-23CAF114B1EF" alt="Creating new layers in GIMP" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ephotozine.com/article/Customisable-Duotones-in-GIMP-10611"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.ephotozine.com/img/10C8BD7C-C94E-463D-A041-A56CFCC96002" alt="Using the bucket fill tool in GIMP" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ephotozine.com/article/Customisable-Duotones-in-GIMP-10611"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.ephotozine.com/img/4E4F9A25-2B11-4C03-9AE5-D4A5D3BC4A62" alt="Finished image in GIMP with Duotones changed" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ephotozine.com/article/Customisable-Duotones-in-GIMP-10611"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.ephotozine.com/img/0CF05B67-7518-45C1-BC01-5B5FDEEF1D9C" alt="Other finishes you can create in GIMP" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D127B81A-BEAF-4FE5-A26F-ADE0A6A559D8/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
