This tutorial is mostly for darker caps/images, but if you use them on lighter ones, they look good too, but it'll be very blue-ish.

1. Duplicate the base 3 times.
Set the first one (closest to the base) to Soft Light 100% and the other two to Screen 100%

2. [Curves]
RGB > I: 195 O: 200

3. [New Raster Layer]
#0B4461 > Exclusion 50%

4. [Color Balance]
Midtones: -44 18 31
Shadows: -43 -7 23
Highlights: -20 -17 -18

5. Duplicate base and drag to the top.
Set it to Screen 100%

6. [Hue/Saturation/Lightness]
Saturation > 30

7. Duplicate base (or Screen layer aka step #5) and drag to the top.
Set it to Soft Light 100%

8. Merge All.

9. Sharpen (if you want).
I like to use Unsharp Mask.
Radius: 1.00; Strength: 55; Clipping: 0

10. Add text/brushes/whatever you like.
