Quick answer: when should you use Duotone Effect?
Use Imagic AI Duotone Effect when you need to map a photo's tones onto a bold two-color gradient. It is best for posters, album art, and high-contrast social graphics, runs in the browser workflow, and does not require signup for the core tool.
Duotone reads best on images with clear tonal range — a photo that's already flat or overexposed loses the effect's contrast.
