1. First of all we need an image. If you want to use the one from this tutorial you can download it from here farm3.static.flickr.com.

2. Duplicate the Background layer by pressing Ctrl + J. Go to Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal All, then go to Image > Apply Image and click OK. Set the blend mode for this layer to Hard Light.

3. Press Ctrl + J to duplicate this layer again, and set the blend mode to Soft Light.
