this generally just makes a boring picture look more fun
made with ps cs3 but can work with older versions
1. open your image, resize, sharpen, brighten, etc, if needed.
2. make a selective color layer (layer > new adjustment layer > selective color), and adjust the settings like this:
reds: -100, +50, +100, +100
neutrals: +30, +15, +10, 0
3. make another selective color layer:
reds: -100, -30, +10, 0
yellows: +100, +100, 0, -100
cyans: +100, -100, +100, 0
neutrals: +20, +15, 0, 0
4. make a new layer (layer > new > layer):
get paint bucket tool and fill layer with #16568b, and set it to exclusion at 30%
5. make one more selective color layer:
reds: +100, +35, +25, 0
6. flatten image & duplicate base:
set duplicated image to soft light at 45%
note: settings might need to be adjusted depending on the image.

iSbl - PS Elements doesn't have selective Coloring, so unfortunately no there isn't.

Cool. But do you know if there's a way to do this on Elements?

ADD A COLOR TO A LAYER: You choose the color you want then folow this sequence
EDIT>>FILL>>OK
then your layer is filled with that color. The blending options are on the layer's pallete in a drop down menu.
