I'm hoping the answer to this question is as easy as I suspect it is...Any help is appreciated.
I have some drawings done in ink on old paper. There are many marks / stains etc on the paper in different colours and many tones within the black of the ink.
I want to select two new colours and make Photoshop change the drawing to ONLY those two colours, keeping the colours in their own layer. Is there a way of doing this, or does the process have a name so I can look it up?
Thanks muches

duotone? various ways to do this...
make it B/W, make 2 layers, make each layer that color using hue/saturation, then cut out part of each layer...
maybe add a layer for background....

that makes sense and is the track I was on. Cutting out each bit is almost impossible / quicker redrawing by hand. Is there an auto way of it 'guessing' which bit should be which colour and separating the layers?

magic wand with x pixel radius? after you've tweeked color and density
try curves too, make contrast more or less to make this easier....

check your channels. one may be cleaner than the others. you can use a channel mixer adjustment layer to blend channel inputs to get a cleaer black and white output.
Use a gradient map adjustment layer to make two colours other than black and white.

what I would do...
select ---> color range (select those 1 or two colors)
use quick selection tool to clean up your selection (deselect parts you don't need)
