Heavy Gold Toning. Pantone 1595 used on two Solid Color Layers; the Overlay was used at 39%, the Softlight used at 69%.
Notes: Picking a Pantone with an overall density around 50% seems to create the most reliable result. The Pantone colours can be called up by typing the number when the colour picker is set to 'Color Libraries'. You may then scroll through the Pantones using the up and down arrow keys on your keyboard.
Notice how the gold toning method has opened up the shadows in comparison to the other two. You have to experiment with the setting watching the result very carefully. If you find a method you really like, make it into a Photoshop Action, that way you do not have to remember how you did it last time when you need a repeat performance!
