1. Start with your final image that you have presented, flattened, no layers and it is an RGB file.
2. Duplicate the layer
3. In PS top tool bar go to Window and click on Channels
4. You will have a window with the RGB channel, Red, Blue & Green channel
5. Click on the RGB channel whilst holding the Ctrl or CMd key down (PC or Mac)
6. The image should then have the 'marching ants'
7. Now go back to the layers panel, click on the Duplicated layer, then at the bottom of the Layers window you will see an sq icon with a circle in it, click on that
8. You should then have a B/W image to the right of the Duplicated layer
9. If so go to the top part of the layers window where you see Normal, click on this and change it to Multiply, it should now have gone more saturated
10. To the right is Opacity, move the slider to the left watch the colour decrease, move it to the desired level
11. On the same duplicated layer, create a new mask and fill black
12. Highlight the mask to activate it, then with a paintbrush, paint white to 'Reveil' the new layer
13. Once happy either save or flatten, job done.
Dan if I hold the ctrl, fn keys down, right click and save image, PS says it has an untagged profile?
Hope this helps
Cheers
