James -

can you see it now? I converted it into an RGB jpg, instead of the CMYK
jpg that it saves as automatically, because that seems to be a problem
sometimes.

Didier -

you can do the "duo-tone" any number of ways, but this is how I do it:
= go into a drawing program (I use Freehand) and make a bunch of
regularly spaced lines at a 45 degree angle; mine are 1 point wide and
every 4 points; and make sure that they will fill the space: if you have to
enlarge or reduce these lines they can lead to weird Moire-type patterns;
= import into Photoshop; I copy and paste from one program to the
other;
= add a Layer Mask using the options at the bottom of the Layers menu;
= make sure your paintbucket is filled with black, and use the
paintbucket to fill the Layer Mask for this Hatch layer; all of your lines
should now immediately disappear, but don't panic.
= (if nothing happens, or only one of the lines disappears, that means
you are still in the Layer with the lines and not the Layer Mask; undo, and
choose the Layer Mask);
= with the Mask chosen, use the eraser tool to make the lines appear
wherever you want the shading. Ta-da!

= to make cross-hatching (lines going the other way): duplicate the layer
of the first set of lines (the "Hatch" Layer);
= go to the Edit pull-down menu, chose Transform >Flip Horizontal;
= now you have "Cross-Hatching"

I use the Hatching to make a general shadow, and the Cross-Hatching to
make a darker shadow, like in the darker areas of the back leg in the
drawing of Cheetera.

I have also used this technique to do dot patterns and other repeating
patterns. And i'm still experimenting for bigger things, at this point.

Anyone who saw Smallville's Cyborg episode will understand this editorial response.
