ConTeXt and duotone graphics

ConTeXt and duotone graphics

[Piotr Kopszak]

Hello list,

I have just came across this little script which allows to create
duotone pdfs with DeviceN channel. The script takes two grayscale tifs
as arguments and returns a pdf duotone. I guess it shouldn't be too
difficult to include it in the ConTeXt processing chain. Probably one
could include a command in a source file which would reference both
files used for  creation of a duotone image and the resulting image
would be used in the final pdf. How would you go about implementing
such a coupling?

Here is the link to the script

http://stdin.fr/Bazar/SpotColorImages

Best

Piotr

there is a plugin mechanism for conversions ... (it's how we deal with 
eps and svg input)

see chapter 3 in the colors-mkiv.pdf manual in the distribution; this 
kind of magic is already present for a while (we actually did it in 
pdftex / mkii in some projects)
