tiff and duotones & monotones

Hi

I've always used cmyk tifs for pictures in my print artwork.

I am now producing artwork for a 2 colour job and I have duotoned the image which is appearing in the artwork accordingly, but...

I don't seem to be able to save a duotone (or monotone for that matter) as a tif in Photoshop? Does anyone know how I get a doutoned image into tiff format for print? Do I have to convert it back to cmyk - (but it's only a two colour job! Black + PMS 194) I'm confused!

Many thanks for any help...

How is this image going to be used? For InDesign just save as PSD and place that.

I agree with Bob ... hopefully you can use PSD. Alternatively, you can save the duotone photo as a Photoshop EPS file, but my instincts say you're safer with PSD. There are circumstances where EPS files don't work well; however, I don't know what those circumstances are. I'm no guru ... just an end-user.

As far as I'm aware, you can't save a duotone as a TIF.

Thanks - I have solved this - apparantly you can't have monotone tiffs so it was saved an eps and then placed.
