Open the images that your going to use. (or copy the ones that I'm using).
Picture 1 Picture 2

Open a new image that's 500x300 pixels.

Copy and paste the pictures your using into the new Image and Blend them.

How I blended Mine 1 How I blended Mine 2 How I blended Mine 3

When your done with the Blending make sure that you all the Layers are Merge or Merge all the Layers.

Duplicate the backgroud and set it to Screen @ 100%.

Dupilcate the Screened Layer and Set the opacity to 50%, Desaturate this Layer.

Add a New (raster) Layer, Flood Fill #002344, Set to Dodge @ 55%

Add a New (raster) Layer, Flood Fill #000644, Set to Exculsion @ 100%

Either add This Texture or make one of your own. It's just splots of bright colors blurred together.
Set to Soft Light @ 30%.

Duplicate bkgd and Set to Screen @ 65%, Desaturate.

Now Like in This Picture, Make 3 Splots of Color (I did each splot of color on a different Layer), The Colors should be Green by Tommy's Head, Red by Jude's Head, and Purple by Jude's Guitar. Make sure the Gaussian Blue them around Radius-70%,
Set it to Soft Light @ 100%.

Merge All Layers

Merge All Layers

Use Edge Preserving Smooth with the Amount @ 1
Then Unsharp Mask @ Radius- 1, Strenght- 50, Clipping- 0.
Then Repeat Unsharp Mask

Duplicate Bkgd
Auto Contrast Enhancement @ Bias- Darker, Strenght- Mild, Appearance- Bold.

This is Possibly Translatable to Other Versions of PSP. But I doubt it's transalatable to PS.
