This coloring is best for colorful, cartoon/anime images. So, let's start!
○ Open up your base:

○ Duplicate your base twice, set the first duplicate to screen 70% and second go to filter > other > high pass with radius 20,5 pixels. Set that layer to soft light.

○ Curves layer:
RGB:
1st point: output 123, input 81
2nd point: output 185, input 163
Blue:
output 168 input 104

○ Selective color layer:
REDS:
-74
+7
+63
-28
YELLOWS:
-81
+4
-53
0
CYANS:
+100

BLACKS:

+5

○ Gradient:
#d25d23 > #f89a2b, layer opacity 26% (adjust to your liking ofc)


○ Then I made a new layer, took a fluffy brush size 200px, color white, and made a couple dots, then set that layer to soft light and opacity 25%.

○ Then ctrl+shift+alt+E, then filter > sharpen. :) and there you go!
