Recommended for dark images.


001. Duplicate the first layer twice and set them both to screen. Duplicate only once if your image is not quite as dark.

002. Make a new layer, fill it with the color #200404. Set the layer to exclusion.

003. Make a new Selective Color Layer.
Match my settings:

Yellow
Cyan: -100

Cyan

Cyan: -16
Magenta: -53
Yellow: -12
Black: +2

Neutrals
Cyan: -22
Magenta: -5
Yellow: +8
Black: -22


004. Duplicate the Selective Color layer and set it to 90% opacity.

Feel free to stop at this point if you like the coloring, I like it all right, but I was aiming for a different feel. xP

005. Create a new Color Balance layer.
Match my settings:

Midtones
Color Levels: -45, 0, +14

Color Levels: +54, 0, 0

Color Levels: 0, +13, +24








001. Duplicate the first layer once and set it to screen.

002. Duplicate first layer and drag to top; set it to soft light at 25% opacity.

003. Duplicate the first layer, keep it where it is! Sharpen it until it looks good. You can change the opacity if it is too strong.

004. Make a new Hue/Saturation Layer. Change the saturation to +31!

Mess around with your results! I tried duplicating the Hue/Saturation layer, and it really brought out the blue in the picture.
