Steps: 11-12 (optional step)
Difficulty: Pretty easy
Translatable: No, sowwie~
1. Duplicate your base and set it to screen. This step will depend on how
dark or light your bsae already is, but I lowered mine to 38%
2. Duplicate your base, drag it to the top, and desaturate (Shift+Ctrl+U) it. Then set it to softlight.
3. Create a new levels layer and input these settings:
Red: Input levels; 72, 2.18, 74
Output levels; 175, 218
Yuck, looks a bit disgusting :P
But set that layer to softlight XD
4. New Fill layer: 1B1B1B set to Luminosity at 22%.
5. Duplicate that fill layer but this time, set it to exclusion at 42% .
This will help balance some of the bright areas a bit more.
6. New Color Balance layer:
Midtones: +9, 0, -12
7. New Selective Colouring layer:
Reds: -41, 0, +36, +25

9. New Hue/Saturation layer:
