Overlay effect

Next step involves the two images. As you see the piano image goes through 3 stages: original(1), grayscale(2), and overlay(3).

1. Original.
2. Grayscale
Image -> Mode -> Grayscale

If the question "Discard color information?" pops up, click "ok".As soon as you're done, go back to:

Image -> Mode -> and choose "RGB Color" this time.

3.Overlay
First we need a new layout on top of our grayscale image.
Layer -> New -> Layer..

Fill in this new layer with a new foreground color (value: 805349). The overlay option can be found at:
Layer -> Layer style -> Blending options..

Once there, find the "Blend mode" option and choose "Overlay". After you apply the overlay effect, your image should look like the one on the left.


Go through each of the above steps and apply the overlay effect for the second image as well. The result should look like this:
