The first, you open the photo below:



Go to Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen to sharpen it

Then go to Images > Adjustment > Level (or press Ctrl + L) and set options like this :



Duplicate layer and set blend mode to screen, opacity 39%
Go to Images > Adjustments > Color Balance, set options:

S: -62.+20.+47
