- Cropped this image from Screencap Paradise down to 100x100:
- Used Auto Contrast to brighten up the image a bit, then duplicated the base layer and set it to screen 100%:
- Created a new color layer (F9E4BB) multiply 50%:
>
- Created another new color layer (BBF7F9) soft light 45%:
>
- Created one more new color layer (FAD2D2) color burn 50%:
>
- Upped Hue/Saturation by +5.
- New Selective Color adjustment layer with the following settings:
Reds: 40, 25, 25, 12
Yellows: -26, 69, -45, -48
Greens: 100, 100, -100, 35
Cyans: 100, -39, -100, 43

And that's it! It's identical to the original, but it's pretty close. :)
**Opacities for layers may vary depending upon your image; don't be afraid to experiment!**
That was quite long, so please let me know if anyone needs anything clarified. :) Hope this helps someone!
