Duplicate your base and drag it to the top. Desaturate it (image > adjustments > desaturate) and set it to soft light, opacity 50%.

Step #3 Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Create a new layer and fill it with #2E4F87.
Set it to soft light, opacity 20%.

Step #4 Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Create a new curves layer with this settings: red curves; blue curves.
Set it to opacity 70%.

Step #5 Image and video hosting by TinyPic
On the top create another curves layer.
Settings: red curves; green curves; blue curves.
Set it to opacity 100%.

-reds: 0, 0, -35, 0
-yellows: 0, 0, -30, 0
-cyans +100, 0, 0, 0
-blues +100, 0, 0, 0
Set it to opacity 50%
Create a color balance layer on the top with this settings:

Great tutorial but I don't have selective coloring though. Anyone know of an alternative or anything similar for this using PSP?

Uhm, I feel kinda stupid, but how do you do a new curves layer?

I guess I missed the "curves layer" bus.

Okay, I feel so lame asking this, but there's no way I can get an answer if I don't ask a question, right? So here goes.

The coloring is absolutely gorgeous, and aside from the Selective Color steps, it's translateable into PSP. The only thing I don't get, are the curves settings. How do I know what settings to put, if no input/output numbers are given? I know tutorials are just guides, and what I usually do is follow along w/ a tutorial step by step, and then after that decide what I'd like altered. So are the Curves screenshots you gave, just supposed to be examples of how your points should look?

I guess I'm just asking, is there anyway I can get the input/outpoint point numbers? Please.

Aaaaand while I'm here, why not kill two birds with one stone. Would you like to be affiliates with my icon journal, [info]politelysmile?

yes, the screenshots show where your points should be
i'd give the input/output numbers, but i actually never managed to work with them, so i don't wanna give you something wrong that will get you a different, bad coloring, sorry =(
if i'll manage to fix this numbers thing, be sure i'll let you know =)

anyway, i'd love to affiliate with your icon journal!! added you the profile ;D
