Going from
to
.
Step 1: Sharpen the image once. Duplicate it and set it on Screen, 100%. Duplicate the new layer and set it to Soft Light, 100%. Go back to the Screen layer and set the Saturation (CTRL + U) to -50.
Step 2: Set this gradient to Color Burn, 90%.
Step 3: Add a new layer and Stamp Visible (CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + E). Resize it and add a white border.
Step 4: Fill a new layer with #E4C8A1 and set to Soft Light, 100%.
You can now add more brushes, textures, text, etc. But I'm gonna stop from here to show how to play with lighting using simple black and white gradients set on Soft Light.
