What does the duotone effect do?

It maps image shadows and highlights between two colors while preserving the source's luminance structure.

Where is Duotone in Ether-MOSH?

Open the FX panel, choose Color, and add Duotone. Its controls are Mix and Hue, both ranging from 0–1.

What Duotone settings should I start with?

Start at 0.80 Mix and 0.85 Hue, then move Hue for the palette and lower Mix if you want more of the original color.

Is Ether-MOSH Duotone the same as two-ink printing?

No. It is an RGB luminance-to-color mapping inspired by the look. Real duotone printing requires separate inks, curves, overprint decisions, and press proofing.

Make the Duotone Effect Pick a Side

Two colors enter, luminance mediates, and your grayscale source leaves the press looking far more expensive than the meeting that approved it.

Quick answer

The duotone effect maps an image's dark-to-light structure between two colors. Ether-MOSH measures luminance, builds a dark hue and a bright complementary hue, then blends that mapping with the source using Mix. Start at 0.80 Mix and 0.85 Hue. This is live RGB color mapping, not a print-ready two-ink separation.
