Includes SC layers.
So unfortunately....it's not translatable.
=]

The original was quite dark, so I screened it twice.

Then added a SC layer.
Reds: -100, 100, 100, 100.
Yellow: -100, -12, -94, -64.
Neutrals: 71, -8, -7, 6.

Then added another SC layer.
Reds: 0, 0, 0, 50.
Yellow: 100, 50, 0, -41.
Neutrals: -8, -12, -14, 6.

Then added another screened base layer on the very top and the end. =]

This is quite simple.
It helps in using the luminosity layer.

**It would also help if you used screencaps from shows or movies...brighter ones being the best in helping with the luminosity effect.

Here's my original, cropped:

Now, duplicate it on screened.
Common sense, if you're photo has tons of red, it'd be best NOT to subtract the cyan option on the reds...duh.
I plead that you have full knowledge on what selective coloring can do.
Onward...

YOU CAN ALSO LEAVE THIS OUT AND IT'LL COME OUT GOOD....maybe.
Depends on the photo.

Add a selective coloring layer:
Reds: -100, 0, 0, 88.
Yellow: 34, -66, -73, 0.
Neutrals: 39, -6, -4, 5.

Duplicate base on luminosity, then resize and you're done.

With that SC layer, I did a slightly different turn out with another Sawyer picture, which also came out pretty sexy.
So I'll post that tutorial up for ya too.

A bit more with this tutorial:

I guess you could say it brings the colors out to a POP.
