I use Photoshop CS 8.0.
This involves the inevitable selective coloring so it's not translatable, sorry.



1. Duplicate base 5 times, set all of them to screen, opacity 100%.

2. New layer - selective coloring:

REDS
C: -100
Y: +100

YELLOWS
C: -100
Y: +100

3. New layer - selective coloring:

REDS
C: -100
M: +65
Y: +100

YELLOWS
C: +100
M: -42
Y: -40

NEUTRALS:
C: +90
Y: -40

4. Duplicate the base, set on top all the other layers, on soft light 75%.

5. Hue/Saturation layer
Saturation:
Master: +10
Cyans: +15
Blues: +15

6. Brightness/Contrast layer:
B: +5
C: +5

That's it, piece of cake!
Experiment a little cause the exact same settings probably won't work on every cap. And I'd like to see what you came up with! :)
