Step 21

Now I proceed to Adjustment layers. Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves... Set the coordinates for each point and channel, as shown in image below. I do this layer darker the entire image (dark colors), as well as blue and green colors. So I can enhance color effect and create contrast.

Next adjustment layer is "Brightness/Contrast" (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness/Contrast...). Set Brightness: 1, Contrast: 10. With this layer all understanding :) I wanted to make a very saturated colors to emphasize the atmosphere of mystery and a little scare the viewer.

Last adjustment layer is "Selective Color" (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Selective Color...). Use image below to set the settings for Reds, Yellows, Cyan, Blue and Neutrals tones. Here I have selectively concentrated in the tone I needed a certain range. But most importantly, I would like enhance red color. That's it! The picture is ready.

Step 22

Now a little bonus. I have not used it in the original work, but I think it would be interesting to add glass to the image. This step is optional, so all up to you. So create a new layer and using a Rectangular Marque Tool (M), circle middle of the image to be made small frame. Go to Select > Modify > Feather... (Shift + F6). Set Feather Radius: 60px.

Inverse selection (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + I). Create a new layer and press Q on keyboard to go to Quick Mask mode and add filter "Color Halftone" (Filter > Pixelate > Color Halftone...). Set settings like shown in image below (You can experiment with the values to achieve interesting results).

Again Inverse selection and fill it with black color (Cmd/Ctrl + Del). That's it!
