NOTE: From experience, this tut works BEST on already lightened pictures. (Already lightened pictures meaning without screening them in photoshop)
Crop your base & duplicate it.
Screen your duplicate layer and leave to 100% opacity.
Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Selective Color:
REDS: +72, +100, +55, +100
