🌗Duotone Effect Online - Gradient Map Your Images
Duotone is a favourite look for posters, album covers and brand design: the image is reduced to its lights and darks, then the darkest parts are mapped to one colour and the brightest to another, blending smoothly in between. Pick one of 10 attractive colour schemes with a click, choose your own shadow and highlight colours, or add a mid-tone for a three-colour gradient map. The contrast slider adds punch and the strength slider blends with the original. Apply the same scheme to many images to keep a set consistent.

FAQ
- How is duotone different from black and white?
- Black and white maps brightness from black to white; duotone maps it to a gradient between two colours of your choice, such as navy to pink, for a more designed look.
- How do I make the effect stronger?
- Choose two colours with a big difference in brightness and raise the contrast. Portraits and architectural silhouettes work especially well.
