Ryro and Brendon
1. Get your base. Sharpen, crop, resize, you know... the fun stuff AGAIN=P I used a pic of Brendon and Ryan from Panic! at the freakin' Disco. Love those guys... anyways.
2. Okay, now comes the hard part (well, not really). Make a color balance layer (layer->new adjustment layer->color balance). Here are the settings:
Midtones

Make sure 'Preserve Luminance' is checked.

4. Make a new Hue/Saturation/Layer (Layers->New Adjustment Layer->Hue/Saturation/Lightness) and set the saturation to 64.
