Subtle Blue Light Tutorial  
Want to turn this... into THIS?
-----


~~~~

STEP 1
Crop your base and clean it up.



STEP 2
Duplicate the base.
Set the new layer to SOFT LIGHT at 100%



STEP 3
Create a SELECTIVE COLOR adjustment layer.
(Layer -- New Adjustment Layer -- Selective Color)
REDS: Cyan +100 / Magenta +7 / Yellow +75 / Black 0
YELLOWS: Cyan +100 / Magenta -26 / Yellow -46 / Black -44
NEUTRALS: Cyan +17 / Magenta -15 / Yellow -36 / Black -13



STEP 4
Create a HUE SATURATION adjustment layer.
(Layer -- New Adjustment Layer -- Hue/Saturation)
MASTER: Hue 0 / Saturation +15 / Lightness 0



STEP 5
Create *another* SELECTIVE COLOR adjustment layer.
(Layer -- New Adjustment Layer -- Selective Color)
REDS: Cyan -100 / Magenta +60 / Yellow +34 / Black -26
YELLOWS: Cyan -100 / Magenta +33 / Yellow +41 / Black +17
NEUTRALS: Cyan +22 / Magenta -7 / Yellow -5 / Black -6


Tadaaaaaaa!




HERE'S A TIP: I usually do all of that business *ONCE* then save the PSD file with all of the layers. If you have a stack of bases, you can just plug them into the PSD file (over the original base, and under those fancy adjustment layers) and then save-save-save. It beats the hell out of typing in all of those numbers over and over! :D

Ah, of course it would have to be selective colouring. XD; Darn my PSP8.

But thankyou all the same!
