Help with editing an image like The National album art - pter86 - 10-06-2017 Hello, I was hoping somebody could advise me on how to create a similar effect to the duotone images from the new National album Sleep Well Beast. I would like to create a similar blue toned image like the one attached. Any advice appreciated.

You might get close using standard Gimp tools. 1. Open image, desaturate it. Colours -> Desaturate The luminosity option usually the best. screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/TDfi9hp.jpg 2. Add a layer and fill it with blue. Set the layer mode to Screen https://i.imgur.com/yUd8y6o.jpg 3. Create a new layer from the previous: Layer -> New from Visible. Apply the Newsprint filter to that Filters -> Distort -> Newsprint. Adjust the settings to suit. https://i.imgur.com/JDC1LEf.jpg Different era, looks like this, should have used a smaller cell size, but the general idea: RE: Help with editing an image like The National album art - pter86 - 10-06-2017 Thanks guys.
