button and choose levels.

A new window should pop up.
While still in this window, choose BLUE from the channels drop-down menu. Set the first numbers to 121.

Now, select RED from the channels drop-down menu. Move the white arrow SLIGHTLY to the left, only until there is a light red tint to your photo.

Lastly, select RGB from the channels drop-down menu. Move the black arrow to the right until you are satisfied with the color.

Click OK, and there you are.
Finished product:
