Begin with 100x100px base:
Paste on this texture (
colorfilter) and set to DIFFERENCE 100%:
>
Paste on this texture (
colorfilter) and set to SCREEN 100%:
>
Duplicate the base, drag it to the top, and set it to SOFTLIGHT 100%:
Paste on this texture (
cdg) and set to OVERLAY 100%:
>
Paste on this texture (
cdg) and set to HARDLIGHT 100%:
>
Create a new layer, and using this brush (
ewanism), stamp it on in white (#FFFFFF). Or, if you don't feel like doing that, you can paste on the middle picture and set the layer to SCREEN 100%:

Then I just moved the layers to the positions they were in before and it's done!
