Step number one on creating a duotone image is pick out a picture you would like to have two different colors mixed. It works best if the colors are gray/black then a different brighter color. The first step when you have your image opened in Adobe Photoshop is to change it to a Grayscale image and to do this you go to Image > Mode > Grayscale. The next step after this is do the same thing, except this time choose Duotone, so Image > Mode > Duotone. You can then choose a color of your choosing you would like to be mixed with black. In my opinion a brighter color works best just make sure its a Pantone Color. You also could choose another color beside black to but it makes it a little harder to see because it blows out the picture a tad bit. After you choose the colors you want then just click OK and your image is now a Duotone. I will have my examples shown below and I learned this from Digital File Prep Class, not just from the Print Production Book, but also in class. These images are pictures that I have taken also.
