At the color picker select a pure cyan using the table below. Cyan is: RED = 0 GREEN = 255 BLUE = 255 Magenta is: RED = 255 GREEN = 0 BLUE = 255 Yellow is: RED = 255 GREEN = 255 BLUE = 0 Black is: RED = 0 GREEN = 0 BLUE = 0
Close the dialog and save the image as a copy adding a C to the file name, revert to the original and repeat the process for each of the other channels adding M, Y, and K to each file name respectively.
Note that in each of the colors the complementary is equal to 0 while the other two are at full saturation. There is really no need to apply a duo-tone to the black as it is already there. Changing the opacity of each separation when printing can control color balance.
