1. Firstly, sharpen the image twice. You don't need to do this if it isn't necessary.


2. The image is too dark, so create a new curves layer. Enter these settings:
RGB: 159 (I) 212 (O), 84 (I) 147 (O), 43 (I) 81 (O).
Red: 145 (I) 179 (O).
Green: 139 (I) 162 (O).
Blue: 141 (I) 161 (O).

3. Duplicate your base, bring to the top, and desaturate it. Then set it to Hard Light with 69% opacity.

4. Create a Color Balance layer. Enter these settings:
M: 40, 62, 43.
H: 18, 31, 21.
S: 15, 31, 19.

5. Duplicate the base and bring it to the top. Set it to Soft Light with 100% opacity.

6. Create a new layer, and paste this texture on Overlay, 59% Opacity. Erase the main bodies in the picture using the background eraser tool.


I've forgotten who made the texture, so if you recognise it, please tell me who! :)
7. Make a new Curves Layer. Enter these settings.
RGB: 178 (I) 243 (O), 72 (I)195 (O), 11 (I) 62 (O).
Red: 127 (I) 182 (O).
Green: 133 (I) 156 (O).
Blue: 151 (I) 170 (O).
Set to 81% Opacity.

Tada! You're done!
I'd love to see your results.
