Aaand another tutorial. Seems I've got the hang of it. Ejoy!

We will be going from

 to 

1. Duplicate your base 3 times. Set the first copy to overlay at 100%, and the other two to screen at 100%. Now shapren the base, and maybe some screen/overlay layers.. It all depends on the picture you're using.
2. Make a new layer, flood fill with #00000E, set to exclusion at 100% and duplicate this layer.
3. Select all and go to Edit > Copy merged. Paste the merged copy on top of everything and set it to soft light at 100%.
4. Now go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves, use these settings

You should now have something that kind of looks like this:


You could stop here, but I decided to erease a bit of the bodom of the image..


Now you can add some text, brushes, whatever floats your boat.. And you're done! Tadaa..

You might have to adjust some opacities, curves, layer, or whatever, whatever works for your picture..
And of course, I'd be happy to answer all of your questions if you have any.
