www.b3ta.com/board/5410688

I've had a go myself. Here's the original, moody b&w shot:

it is worth learning how to do it yourself with CMYK levels though -
it's tricky but looks far more realistic. you don't get the extremly high contrast and saturation that you do here... apparently

How did you do that? It's like you've laid one image over the top of the other and then reduced the opacity or something...

# put the coloured one on top of the real photo
then used layer mode "Color Dodge" on the coloured one

simple
