Translatable to my knowledge.
Colour layers, with optional use of curves (screen layers can be used for a substitute), and a Hue and Saturation layer.
Made in PSP8.
01; Get an image, crop and resize.
02; For this step, I used curves (layers>new adjustment layer>curves). Create a new point in RGB.
CHANNEL: RGB
INPUT: 129
OUTPUT: 229
(For those who don't have/understand curves, instead, you can duplicate the base twice, and set them both to screen for a similar result)
03; Create a new raster layer, and fill it with #9FE3EC (
) and set it to Burn; Opacity 40
04; Create another raster layer, and fill it with #D4E3D0 (
) and set it to Soft Light; Opacity 70
05; Create another raster layer, and fill it with #E5D4BD (
) and set it to Multiply; Opacity 35
06; Yet another raster layer, fill it with #001B70 (
) and set it to Exclusion; Opacity 30
07; Create one last raster layer, and fill it with #8FE1FF (
) and set it to Soft Light; Opacity 40
08; Create a new Hue and Saturation layer (Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Hue and Saturation) and raise the Saturation by 33.
09; Duplicate your base image, and drag it to the top, and set it to Soft Light; Opacity 35
To finish off, you can sharpen it, add textures, text, brushes and so on.
