The main difference between the duotone and the gradient map is that the gradient map allows for a substantially greater variety of colors. The other interesting thing is that it’s not strictly a light-shade-of-gray-to-light-color scheme. The original picture was actually a very serene picture in front of a waterfall. I originally played around with the preset gradients and the twelve from the DVD, but none of them really gave me the effect I was looking for. I ended up making my own gradient using warm colors and black and white as anchors at either end. I really liked how it took a picture with a very tranquil atmosphere and turned it into a raging, white-hot waterfall.
