-->
PSCS2; not translatable; selective colour, curves, colour layer.
-Open up an image. Crop it and resize it to 200x200. Go to Image>Adjustment>Variations and click lighter twice.
-->
much brighter now!
-Resize it down to 100x100. Duplicate your new base once and set it to screen at 32% opacity.
-->
-Now make a curves adjustment layer. You may not need this, depending on your image. It just give it a bit of contrast.
RGB: first point: I:232 O:228
second point: I:167 O:231
RED: I:173 O:184
GREEN: I:128 O:143
BLUE: I:131 O:150
It should all look like this
now, set the layer to soft light at 23% opacity
the opacity of it will all depend on your opinion and your image. remember to Play with it to get it to your liking.
