thatsjustace it works best with blue-ish images but if you play around with the layers it works just as well with others. (: this icon was part of THIS batch


 >>

prepare your base

firstly duplicate your base and set it to screen, set it to what ever opacity works for your image. I usualy come back to this step at the end and adjust it. anyway mine is set to 40%


make a curves layer
RGB: input 120, output 150


make a new layer and fill it with white, set this layer to softlight. mine is at 100% but whatever works best for you.


another new layer and this time make it a dark brown (#200E10) exclusion at 100%


make one more new layer, fill it with and orange colour (#DE602A) set it to burn at 30%


now make another curves layer set it to 50%
blue:
point one; input 90 output 50
point two; input 145 output 120


now make a levels layer
RGB: input 50 - 1,30 - 255


one more curves layer settings;
RGB; input 120 output 125


make a color balance layer
shadows; 15 - 5 - 15
midtones; 25 - 10 -12


and finally make a channel mixer layer with these settings;
Red; 165, -70, 0
Blue; -60, 60, 90
I set this layer to 50%
