I know it's not the same effect, but you could use some of the techniques explained on this tut:

yea i see what ur saying awsome thanks. if anyone else has other ideas please add. i really like this style and i could put it to use in many ways.

ok so this is what i came up with let me know what you think.

Looks pretty good, if you want it closer to the original, You'll need to tweak the Exposure/Offset/Gamma, or the curves or levels.

Nice outcome! As SatanicPenguins said, you can use Curves to make it look better. I tried and that's what I got:



I only duplicated the layer in screen mode and added a new curves layer with these settings:



And also, to get that multiclor effect, you can add a gradient at the top:



And set that layer to Color:



If that stands out too much, you can always desaturate (ctrl + shift + u) the first two layers (your original one and the screen mode one) and decrease the opacity of the gradient layer. You'll get something along these lines:



Just try to combine that effects I say and you'll get something quite similar to the one you posted on the first post

I didn't explain it step by step because I assume you already know how to work with photoshop, layers and blending modes, but if you have any question just ask and I'll try to help.

nice job PSG, good stuff.
