3 very easy tutorials! :P
all used in paint shop pro 7, i believe they're very translatable.
no selective colouring, easy peasy layers, changable!
the last tutorial has curves.
i don't ask for credit, but please, if someone asks where you got the colouring... send them here? :P
NOTE; i slightly adjusted the percentages to make it look how i wanted it, that's what you have to do. :)
tutorial one!
6 stages - very easy to follow.

TO

we will start off with this base.

1. duplicate & set it to screen, make it as light as it needs to be then merge layers.
2. duplicate & set to hard light 34%.

3. add a new raster layer, fill with #0F1B45 & set to exclusion 63%.

![](http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r50/ouryounghearts/3rdn.gif)
merge all then add an adjustment layer > up the saturation.
add colour balance > 52, 64, 58
