Fake duotone

Fake duotone - faux duotone - tint - shade - tone - hue

 

Fake duotone, also known as simulated duotone or faux duotone, is a design technique where an image is manipulated to appear as if it's a duotone image, but more than two colors are actually used. This technique involves mapping a grayscale image to a range of colors, often with varying opacities, to mimic the appearance of duotone. The goal is to achieve a similar visual effect to traditional duotone without strictly adhering to the two-color limitation. Fake duotone can be used creatively to produce visually appealing and artistic images, offering more flexibility in color variations and composition.
