Yeah, another one...
Going from this: to this:

With Photoshop 7



So, step one... Do what you gotta do. Crop it, sharpen it, lighten it, blah blah blah...



Step two, make a new layer and fill it with 001571 on Exclusion 70%. Play around with the opacity if you want.



Another layer. Fill with FED9FF on Soft Light 100%



Use the selection tool and select the whole image, then go to Edit, Copy Merged, then Paste. Set that layer to Colour Burn 100%



New Hue/Saturation layer. This is where you probably need to play around and see what looks best and what colours you really want to bring out.

This is what I did for this image:

Masters Sat: +15
Reds Sat: +35
Yellows Sat: +15
Cyans Sat: +5



Done already! My, my...


Here are some other icons made with this colouring:

New Hue/Saturation layer - for your numbers are you refering to the saturation, hue, or lightness in the adjustment bars?
