SHADOWS: 0, -10, 0
MIDTONES: -38, +12, +22
HIGHLIGHTS: 0, 0, -14



Create a new layer and fill it with the color #357570 and set it to SOFTLIGHT 100%:



Create a new layer and fill it with the color #092b8c and set it to EXCLUSION 60%:



Duplicate the base and set it to SOFTLIGHT 100%:



Go to LAYERS>NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER>HUE/SATURATION and put +10 in SATURATION:



Go to LAYERS>NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER>BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST and put +7 in BRIGHTNESS and +10 in CONTRAST:
