Go from
to
1. Resize your image, crop it as you prefer and sharpen it until you get what you want.
2. Create a new Selective color layer:

YELLOW: -20, 0, +53, 0
GREEN: +15, 0, 0, 0
CYAN: +100, 0, 0, 0
NEUTRALS: +38, -5, -34, 0
3. Duplicate the Selective color layer -just select it and press CTRL + J-.
4. Duplicate your base, paste it to the top and set it to Soft Light 50%.
5. Add this scratch texture by ewanism and set it to Lighten.

6. Create a new Brightness/Contrast layer.
Brightness: -3
Contrast: +13
