-Selective Colouring
-Not Transferrable to PSP (sorry!)

-Amy Winehouse image from Last Beautiful Girl

1.) Take your image.  I'm using this.  Crop it to about 275x275, copy it, and paste it onto a 100x100 base, moving it around until you're satisfied with the outcome.

2.) This is optional, but I softened her skin with the Blur Tool.

3.) Layers-->New Fill Layer-->Solid Colour.  Fill it with #d44876.  Set it to Soft Light--Opacity 85% (or fiddle with it until it looks good on your image).

4.) Layers-->New Adjustment Layer-->Selective Colouring.  These are the settings I used, but if you're using a different image, it may not look as good:

REDS:
+35
+5
+6
-30

YELLOWS:
-65
-25
+45
-60

WHITES:
0
0
0
-15

NEUTRALS:
+12
+5
-8
0

BLACKS:
+100
+100
+100
+100

Check the box next to "relative."

5.) Layers-->Flatten Image, and you're done!

I'd love to see your results.  If I didn't make anything clear, or if you have questions, feel free to ask.
