a) Drop out the low energy colors (ie red-orange-yellow).
I suggest using curves to drop out much red and some green.
b) Color balance (preserve luminosity): Shift midtones and shadows to plenty
of cyan and blue, and a bit of magenta. Shift highlights to a bit of cyan, blue,
and green.
c) Use the hue/saturation tool to drop saturation and lightness.
d) Selective color (absolute, not relative): For each color range generally
(but not alway, for instance drop the magenta of the magenta range) increase
cyan a lot, magenta a bit, decrease yellow a touch, increase black a touch.
Be especially careful with the grayscale ranges. For neutrals and blacks, decrease
black.
e) brightness/contrast: reduce both.
Basically overall reduce all the color contrast but retain the overall value
contrast.
With each of these techniques, create a duplicate layer of your original to
work on. Then, with each layer, layer opacity set 50-80% to get a rough idea,
try all the layer types, esp.: darken, color dodge, hue, color, hard-light,
overlay, luminosity. If more than one of these layer types has a useful affect,
make a duplicate of that layer to apply that layer filter type as well. Scan
your layers to throw more layers on top in case any of them have color, shadows,
or something youmay want to reintroduce into the stack to some degree.
Flatten the image; reduce brightness/contrast, balance (dont preserve luminosity) mids CGB, shadows CGY, highs CB; balance (preserve luminosity) mids RGB, shadows RGY, highs CGB;
As so many steps are involved, you'll want to save this as a macro if you're doing it more than once. To build your macro, start with a sunny photo with many rainbow solids and fine rainbow textures, so that your macro will wrok with most anything.
