    Default InDesign & Duotones

    I have a two colour job that has a gradient at the top. I made the gradient in Photoshop as a duotone. I have an image on the same page which is a greyscale image also from Photoshop. My printer requires a high res PDF as they do not have InDesign. What are the proper settings for a two colour job? I've tried it several times and I can't get the results that I expect. Either I get a greyscale gradient or a CMYK image.

    I'm on a PC, Windows 2000, 512MB RAM, InDesign CS, Photoshop CS and
    Acrobat Professional.

    Thanks.

    What result are you getting? Using either CMYK or leave color unchanged
    will retain spot color info.

    Hi Bob,

    When I use "Leave Colour Unchanged" I get the duotone but the greyscale image is in CMYK, AH! but when I use "Composite CMYK" it works!! Yay! I was using "Separations"

    Thanks Bob
