Take your base and crop it.
(Image found here)

Go to Layer > New Adjusment Layer > Curves (Opacity: 100%)
Use these settings,
RGB: In: 120, Out: 142

Then go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Selective Color (Opacity: 100%)

Use these settings;

Red: -100, 0, +50, 0
Yellow: -100, 0, +100, 0
White: +50, 0, -30, 0

Make a new selective color layer with the following settings, (Opacity: 100%)

Red: -60, 0, +50, 0
Yellow: +25, -10, +8, +10
Whites: +41, 0 , -10, +16

Now you can sharpen your base, make it darker, that's up to you. This base of Elijah didn't need anymore adjustments but most images do. The best thing to do with those images is to make them brighter with Curves.

Well, this was my first tutorial ever and I hope you all can understand it. If you have any questions, please ask them.

@ applementos, this is also an awesome colouring for House screencaps although you should brighten them. A 'real' House screencaps tutorial is coming up!
