Make a new layer and fill it with this gradient:
Set this layer's blending option to "Lighten."
Make a new layer and fill it with a yellow color. I'll be using #FFF799. Set this layer's blending option to "Color Burn" and the opacity to 40%.
With all of that done, your image should look something like this:
