CS2 Not Saving Duotone to Web JPG?

[Scott --]

Hi, all -

I've got an 8 bit greyscale image in CS2. Convert it to duotone. Gosh - purty. Go to "Save for Web" to output it as a JPG, and the duotone info is lost, and the image reverts to grey.

Any ideas?

1. Create duotone the way you do.

2. Convert to RGB (8-bit)

3. Convert profile to sRGB (Convert to Profile is different from Assign Profile - make sure you convert!)

4. Save for Web

Nope. Still reverts to grey. Though it was in CMYK space. Not sure how that one happened... :rolleyes:

Scott, it can't be in CMYK if you converted it to RGB.... as Marko said:

1. Create duotone the way you do.

2. Convert to RGB (8-bit) - do this under Image>Mode>RGB Color

3. Convert profile to sRGB (Convert to Profile is different from Assign Profile - make sure you convert!) - do this under Edit>Convert to Profile> pick sRGB from the dropdown

4. Save for Web


This works - you must be doing a step wrong

Tim, I'm following those steps precisiely. Not working. Maybe it's time to reinstall CS2?
