Now set the top (duplicated layer) layer's blending mode to: "Darken", and tune the opacity down to about 70%. Now flatten the image: Layer->Flatten Image.


Next we add some colors to it, go to Filter->Render->Lighting Effects: Now feel free to play around with the settings here to get your own result. Here is one I used. CLICK TO VIEW
