1. Choose your picture, crop it, sharpen it, etc. I chose this picture of Michelle Ryan.
2. Duplicate your base image and set the blend mode to softlight at 100%.
3. Go to Layers - New Adjustment Layer - Color Balance. I used these settings:
Midtones: 20, -7, -32
Shadows: -27, -10, 7
Highlights: 20, 0, -32
Make sure the 'Preserve Luminance is checked.
4. Go back to Layers - New Adjustment Layer - Hue/Saturation/Lightness. Go ahead and fiddle around with the settings until you get something you like. Here are the settings I used:
Master: 10
Reds: 10
Yellows: 15
Greens: 15
Cyans: 25
Blues: 19
Magentas: -19
5. Go back and duplicate your base. Drag it to the top and go to Adjust - Hue and Saturation - Colorize. Make sure the Saturation level is at 0, hue doesn't matter (it's grey now). Set it on Screen at 30%.
6. Make a new raster layer and fill it in with a pink-ish color (I used #de5b5b) and set it on Softlight at 45%.
7. Make another raster layer and fill this one in with a dark blue (I used #04144d) and set it on Exclusion at 50%.
8. Make yet another raster layer and fill this last one in with a tan color (I used #04144d) and set it on Multiply at 30%. This is what your layers palette should look like after all that. And viola, you're finished.
