- Make in photoshop 7.0
- Might be transferable for any versions
- Result will be vary, depend on the basic image.
- Best result for HQ images
- Level : maybe for intermediate up since it's quite tricky with the selective color and curves.

14. Copy your basic image, bring it to the top and set in Luminosity with opacilty 50%
15. You're done :)
Note : If you think the result is too brown (gold-ish), you can try to desaturate the last image (in step 14), if it's still too brown, just change the opacity on step 6 (the soft orange color fill).
