Blending and Tweaking

Now that we have our layer with the cool and dark colors defined, we can blend the layer into the image and adjust the results. 

Step 5

To blend the layer into the image, simply change the blending mode of the top layer to Soft Light.

Step 6

We'll be using the Levels tool to adjust the effect. Open the Levels tool (Image> Adjustments> Levels or Ctrl+L). To increase the effect, move the black and white input sliders towards the center.

Step 7

Now that we're done editing, change the image mode back to RGB color (Image> Mode> RGB Color).

Step 8

This effect may cause some skin tones to be over saturated. To fix this, simply using the Hue/Saturation tool (Image> Adjustments> Hue/Saturation or Ctrl+U) and lower the saturation.

Final Results

Rollover the image below to see the before and after effect.
