thanks again.

Image - adjustments - desaturate
image - adjustments - hue/saturation
check the 'colorize' option
and slide the hue slider..

I'd go with Dan's suggestion to be honest, the Brightness & Contrast might need some tweaking after that.

Photoshop

Image > adjustments > desaturate
Image > adjustments > Colour Balance

although the duotone option will do the same, but will probably lighten it a little.

cheers chaps. adjusted the brightness and contrast first, then followed adras' stpes - worked a treat.

cheers guys.

Of course if you do the adjustments as layers, you can fuck around for hours getting it just so...

[Brown]

fuck around for hours? you got time to spare?

[lucidcreations]

yeah click the little black & white circle at the bottom of the layers panels. You can dick around without affecting the original.

[stickmus]

Yes

I did it, but I duplicated the bottom saturated layer then colour dodged it to et the contrast effect then changed the opacity, took me about 1 minute to get a replica.
