As usual guys be careful, those settings are working with this picture but may not work with yours. Play with the settings, it's the best way to learn! If you got questions, don't hesitate, I aim to help! Done on Photoshop CS3.
You can snag everything as long as you give credit!

(It's not a texture, it's a colorlayer but I've snagged it on one of her tutorials and don't remember the color :p )
I will use a lighting technique that I found at all_at_once 's community, danceof_flame
1. Duplicate your base. Set it to screen, opacity at 47%
2. Do a curve layer
Output : 150
Input : 89
3. Do a selective color layer
Reds : -23%, 0%, +8%, -11%
Whites : 0%,0%, +15%, +11%
Neutrals : 0%, +3%, 0%, -4%
4. Do another selective color layer
Reds : -68%, +26%, +76%, -12%
Yellows : +100%, +17%, -51%, -20%
Whites : +100%, 0%, -23%, -10%
Neutrals : +9%, -10%, -6%, +6%
5. Do a selective color layer (yes I know again :p )
Whites : -70%, 0%, +6%, 0%
6. Do a color balance layer
Shadows : -11, 0, +13
Midtones : +22, -6, -19
Highlights : -1, 0, -22
7. Do a brightness/contrast layer
Brightness : 9
Contrast : -39
8. Do another brightness/contrast layer
Brightness : 79
Contrast : -13
9. Do a color balance layer
Midtones : +24, -42, -3
10. Open a new layer. With a white brush, paint a little bit over Dean's chest, the table and the part of the wall on the top of his shoulder. Then, use the gaussian blur til the light you'll produce will satisfy you. My layer looks like this
(apart that your layer got a transparent background, not a black one)
11. Duplicate this layer and set the opacity to 21%
12. Duplicate you base. Put it above the last layer and set it to soft light.
13. Do a brightness/contrast layer
Brightness : 52
Contrast : -50
14. Use this layer Set it to colorburn.
15. Duplicate this layer.
16. Do a color balance layer
Midtones : +12, +14, +66
17. Do a brightness/contrast layer
Brightness : 32
And you're done!!
As I said, questions are welcome!
