PS7, very easy.



This is the original image. You'll want to vary some of the settings for different images.

1) Resize and crop the image. Duplicate it, set the layer to Screen. Depending on how bright you want your image to be, adjust the opacity. For this I used 50%. Ctrl + E to merge the layers.

Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation: Saturation: +50

Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen

Edit > Fade Sharpen: depending on the image, anywhere between 50-70% will be fine.



2) Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Selective Color:

Cyans
Cyan: +100%

Blues
Cyan: +100%

Duplicate this adjustment layer.



3) Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Color Balance

Now here you'll just have to play around with the settings, but keep this setting as a staple:

Midtones
Cyan: -100

Here's the rest of my settings, but remember that you'll just have to change them up a bit for different images.







4) Finally I made a rectangle with the marquee tool, filled it with red, added the plus sign and a brush. That's all!
