I'm going to make this simple.

and set duplicates to SCREEN.
02. Color Balance.

Red: 12, 1.20, 255
Blue: 1, 1.11, 255
04. Curves.

09. Unsharpen Mask.
Amount: 11%

*** For those of you without PS, don't fret.
PSP result:

After the merge, I used unsharpen mask twice. You may just need to up the curves or levels a little bit afterwards. This one is actually closer to the original, so there you have it.
I don't make tutorials often, mostly because I don't know which icon people would like to see. What is the point to make a tutorial nobody wants? So if you'd like to see a tutorial just ask, and I'll see what I can do, I really don't mind the questions.
Also, I know the new thing is to post the .psd, I'm not going to do that. There is no reason to mass produce a technique, m'kay? Every picture is different and the coloring should be too.
