Change it to grayscale.
Bob
I want to make use this image in a duotone, but don’t want it to be both colors.
What does that mean exactly?
How can I get this image to be only in the black channel?
Convert to greyscale, copy, then paste in the black channel of a CMYK file

——–Sorry for the confusion. I wasn’t very precise at all.
First of all, I’m hampered by the fact that I’m not an artist or a Photoshop user. I manage a team of graphic artists. Secondly, I’m hearing about the problem second hand. Both of these make it hard for me to give you the best possible view of the problem.
I talked with my artist again, and she wants a duotone that’s black and a deep maroon. She wants a particular image to have no maroon – to be black-only within the duotone.

Thanks for your help and patience.
Multichannel is what he wants. That color mode allows for an image to have zones with two (or more) spot colours and zones just with one colour, independently of shadows and lights.
Gregg,
If your designer needs spot colour only is certain areas then she needs toi create that content in a spot colour channel, not as a duotone.
….furthermore duotone mode files only have 1 channel (a grayscale) so you can’t alter the proportion of the two inks in a selection. The ink transfer curves get applied to the entire grayscale image
