Made in PS7 as requested by steph_leeds Uses Selective colour, Levels and Curves. Not translatable.

Remember that this tutorial is nothing more than guidelines. My exact setting aren't going to work with every pic you try it on. The idea is to use it a guideline and play about as needed. :)

Duplicate your base, set it to soft light, 100%. Desaturate that soft light duplicate. Duplicate it once or twice. It's going to depend on your pic. I did twice. Duplicate the base again, set it to screen 100% and duplicate the screen layer. Now comes the long winded adjustment layer explanation.
