VSCO-like unsaturated, dark blue tones

[mundodeamor]

Hey everyone, I've fallen in love with the dark blue tones effect that can be achieved with VSCO Film plugin or VSCO Cam app, but unfortunately I can't get those products.

Not sure about the actual sequence, but I've achieved similar effects before in Photoshop. Play around with desaturation, then add a dark blue layer and try out the various blending effects (can't remember which) until you get the look you want.

I use that one quite often, and it gives the image a soft faded sepia-ish look, not the dark blue the OP is looking for.

And a light skin color soft light layer with the dark blue exclusion. Use the Layer>New Layer>Solid color layer to create color layer and play with the colors after creating soft light and exclusion layers.

Thank you so much! I will see what I can do with it. I still hope for VSCO to appear online, though.
