Create a Duotone Effect in Photoshop Elements

The Duotone effect has become a trendy image effect. You can create it with just a few clicks in Photoshop Elements.

Watch my video to see how to create the look:

Duotone Effect Guided Edit

You can start with quickly adjusting the size of your image for the social platform you want to post to.

Adobe had a variety of Duotone effect presets to choose from, but you can choose custom colors to create a completely new look for your photos.

Duotone effect comes in two variants: Normal Duotone and Gradient Duotone.

You can also add a shape overlay to the design. I love this effect!

To use this feature in Photoshop Elements:

1. Open Photoshop Elements Editor.
2. Go to File> Open to open your image in the application.
3. Switch to the Guided tab
4. Under Fun Edits tab, find Duotone Effect and click on it.

The Verdict

Another on-trend addition to the Guided Edits. I like the shape overlay options that allow you to make a background suitable for text overlay.
