How do you think this look is achieved? http://www.flickr.com/photos/katharinafoesel/2073672267/
I have tried Diffused glow and a layer of blue or a layer of cyan, but I just can't seem to get the same effect. Suggestions?

I suspect quite a bit of the effect was due to makeup and lighting for the original photography.
As far as the color, I got a somewhat similar effect by filling a layer with blue, setting the blending mode to "color" and the opacity to about 40%, another somewhat similar effect was blending mode; "hue" and around 60% opacity.

I think it's partly makeup.
But it looks to me like they have copied the original layer in colour,
then made the new layer invisible.
Then they've gone back to the first layer and desaturated, then possibly fiddled with colour balance.
They've then selected the top layer again and made it visible (click on the eye in layers) fiddled with colour until they were happy and then reduced opacity to allow the b & w underneath to show through..
They may also have partially erased select areas, especially where the grey shadows are, using the eraser tool set with a blurry brush and much reduced opacity and flow.
Then a third layer was created, probably with imported scrollwork etc., and the opacity of that was reduced too.
They then merged the layers as did a "save as".
Anyway, that's how I would do it. Big smile from Lizzie ;o)

Not sure if it is a layer style like diffused glow, or just some subtle hue adjustments done with multiple layers, skin tone looks like original image was shot w/ wb set to incandescent, under daylight, as the entire image has an overall cool tone, with no reds at all, anywhere.
Well executed concept, and great capture.

I'm not sure because I've not tried it personally, but you might try playing around with the saturation (leave a little color, but not much) and then variations (go for the blue tones). It seems like it would also help to start with a photo that used cool tones and not a lot of color, like the one you showed an an example. Good luck!

That is an outstanding image, I'm clueless as to these images as i dont know photoshopping or portraiture, so i have gone for more of how i think a great photographer could do it
Alot of spray on make up, some paint, a veil, WB reading off yellow, difussed light, a soft spot perhaps barn doored, a pretty cool depth F1.2 or maybe F1.4 or so,
There is some photoshop going on maybe but i dont think alot. Its a well conceived and brilliantly executed image,
thanks, merry christmas see you at the GAP sale - not

I htink 99% of that is lighting and makeup effects, not P'shop. Possibly a litte de-sat, but not much.

Its on the actual person, as you can tell she said she is a make up artist and model.
You cont do anything like that on photoshop! and its the color of the person skin, like they put colored stuff on her skin,

I agree with the people that says it's make up.

you can change the 'hue', and color balance in adjustments
