Grayscale
Grayscale images are intended to print only in black ink, but beware of
images that look grayscale but are actually color images. Photoshop
CS4 introduced a special black-and-white color adjustment (Image >
Adjustments > Black & White), which provides sophisticated controls for
governing the conversion from color to the appearance of a black-and-
white image. However, the Black & White adjustment does not actually
convert the image to grayscale.
Not Truly Grayscale
While this image appears to be black-only, the title bar of the document tells the truth; it’s
actually RGB.
If such an image is not converted to grayscale, even very slight color
shifts on press could produce a color cast in the printed image. An
image that’s colorbut appears grayscalestill displays its color mode
in the document’s title bar. Look for the CMYK or RGB identifier after
the image name in the title bar. Just finish the conversion by choosing
Image > Mode > Grayscale, and update the image links if the image is
used in an InDesign layout or Illustrator file.
Multitone images (duotone, tritone)
Multitone images such as duotones, tritones, and quadtones are
actually grayscale images containing embedded transfer curves. The
transfer curves contain information about what colors are generated
during output, as well as the relative values of those colors. Most
commonly, process black is one component of a duotone or tritone,
which can cause a common problem you may encounter with multitone
images supplied by customers.
The initial dialog box for duotone options (Image > Mode > Duotone)
automatically populates the black ink name for you. Unless the image is
intended to print with a spot black ink rather than process black, this
default black ink should not be changed. Some users think that they
