My first tutorial! :)
From to


Made in Photoshop 7.0
Probably not translatable because of Channel Mixer and Curves.

1. Prepare your base: crop, resize, sharpen etc.


2. Layer-> New Fill layer-> Solid Color.
   Set to Linear Burn 20%.
   Click OK.
   Choose color #BEBEBE.
   Click OK.


3. Layer-> New Adjustment Layer-> Channel Mixer.
   Click OK.
   Red: +85/0/0/0
   Blue: 0/0/+115/0
   Click OK.


4. Duplicate your base.
   Drag to top and set to Soft Light 100%.


5. Duplicate your base.
   Drag to top and set to Screen 30%


6.  Duplicate your base.
   Drag to top and set to Soft Light 100%.


7. Layer-> New Adjustment Layer-> Curves.
   Click OK.
   RGB:
   1st point: 88/79
   2nd point: 169/165
   Green:
   1st point: 67/62
   2nd point: 114/102
   3rd point: 169/162
   Blue:
   1st point: 56/46
   2nd point: 118/114
   3rd point: 162/169
   Click OK.


8.  Layer-> New Fill layer-> Solid Color
   Set to Exclusion 100%.
   Click OK.
   Choose color #270300.
   Click OK.


9. If you want more contrast:
   Duplicate your base.
   Drag to top and set to Soft Light 50%.
   Finished:)


Other examples:
   

Remember, no image looks the same, so you probably need to change opacities on some layers.
I'd love to see your results^^

Download the .PSD here:)

And it's very nice of you to add the psd even though you didn't have to. Because we're all capable of reading guidelines and putting in the numbers and layers.

Kudos to you.
