Ah, sorry...I didnt mean the subject "The fact that he is ignoring the Camera".
I meant the style, is it Blue Sepia or something?`

No had posted that I couldnt see the image but then it appeared eventually,.

I'd say that was duotone. Black & White with the addition of a single colour.

Is it done in Photoshop and can anyone on here do it?

You can do it in PS, from memory I think its Image, Mode, Duotone. Then pick one of the thousands of colours from the Pantone swatch lists etc and away you go. Enjoy, it can look really effective on the right photo.

That colour styling is called DuoTone. It can be done within photoshop under the
image/Mode options.

Images need to be greyscale before you can use duotone however.

I dont have Photoshop but I do have a nice black and white image that I would like to made into Duotone like the above - Can somebody help? I can email the image to you.

Why not YouSendIt, stick the URL up here and let everyone have a go? Might be useful practice for people to try something new.

just FYI. If you didnt want it applying to a B&W you have just upload a colour ud like to see in blue duotone and us photoshop users can do that just as easily for you.

Here's the image - Competition time.

My word, that's an awful lot of knobs.

A slightly darker effort - your post prompted me to remember how to do this - good fun innit!
