Image edit prompt“Apply duotone mapping to this image: convert it to grayscale, then map the shadows to deep indigo and the highlights to hot coral pink, with a smooth blend through the midtones and no other colors. Contrast is bold and poster-like. Keep the original subject and composition recognizable.”
