    PHOTO MANIPULATION
    PLZ REP OR CRED IF YOU FIND THIS TUT USEFUL
    First, we need an image to manipulate, I picked this picture:
    [​IMG]

    Go Filter>Noise>Dust & Scratches… and choose these settings:
    Radius: 20 pixels
    Threshold: 0 pixels.
    This gives some sort of blur to the image, but we need to fade it to keep the image's quality by fading it (Edit>Fade Dust & Scratches…) and choosing blending mode as Overlay.
    [​IMG]

    Add a Channel Mixer layer, and in the Blue Output Channel, set the "Blue" bar to 2%, and press OK.
    Change the layer's blending mode to Overlay and the opacity to 50%.
    [​IMG]

    Add a Curves layer, and bend the diagonal line there until it looks like something like this:
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Last Stage- merge all layers or flatten them. Duplicate the remaining layer we have and apply on the duplicated layer Filter>Distort>Spherize. Choose 59% Amount and "Normal" Mode.
    Also, apply Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur with radius of 3.0 pixels to soften the effect.
    Change that layer's Blending Mode to Soft Light.
    The final result should it should look like this:
