Requires basic knowledge of cropping, resizing, sharpening, desaturating, and using layers.
No Curves or Color Balance. Just layers.
Step #1: Find your picture. I am using
this from
Degrassi.tv.
Step #2: Crop, resize, and sharpen your picture.
Step #3: Duplicate the base and
set the duplicate layer to SCREEN at 100% opacity.
Step #4: Duplicate the screen layer so that you have TWO SCREEN LAYERS.
Set the second screen layer to 60% opacity.
Step #5: Make the second screen layer black and white / desaturate.

Step #6: Merge all layers.
Step #7: Duplicate the new base, and
set it to SOFT LIGHT at 100% opacity.
Step #8: Duplicate the soft light layer so that you have TWO SOFT LIGHT LAYERS.
The second one should also be 100% opacity.
Step #9: Create a NEW RASTER LAYER.
Fill it with #031941 at set it at EXCLUSION at 100% opacity.

Step #10: Move the exclusion layer so that it is
underneath the second soft light layer.

You're finished!
Remember:: this is just an outline tutorial.
You don't have to use every step, and you
may need to adjust the opacities, depending on your image.
