    Hi - try this

    1.Switch to image mode grayscale.

    2. Switch to image mode duotone

    3. In duotone options set your colours. I have used pantone 433C and 9c as I had them loaded

    4. Click on the curves icons in the above dialogue and adjust as required

    Ensure you're in the RGB color mode.

    Under adjustment layers, try Gradient Map. See if that will work for you.

    Experiment with blending modes.
