Tutorial #45 - This: to this: recreating this: using Gimp. Translatable.
Requested by H.M. Swanwhite and Wunderkind_Lucy.
Open and prep image/base (crop, scale, etc.).
Duplicate the base layer and go to Colors>Auto>White Balance. Set the layer mode to Screen at 100%.
Duplicate that layer, set the layer mode to Soft Light at 100%.
Add a fill layer of color #2a1409, set it to Subtract at 100%.
Flatten the image.
Duplicate the base layer and go to Colors>Components>Channel Mixer and input these settings...
Red channel: +120, -40, +10.
Green channel: -10, +50, +70.
Blue channel: -40, +50, +100.
Make sure that Preserve Luminosity is unchecked. Click ok.
Set that layer to Soft Light at 50%. Add a layer mask, copy and paste the background layer into it.
Duplicate the above layer and set it to Screen at 100%. (It should already have a layer mask on it. Invert the layer mask.)
Add a fill layer of color #ffffff, set it on Soft Light at 50%. Add a layer mask, copy and paste the background layer into it. Now invert the layer mask.
Add a fill layer of color #2a1409, set it to Screen at 100%.

Midtones: +15, 0, -5.
Highlights: +5, 0, 0.

Select the Blur/Sharpen tool, and selectively blur her face and neck and sharpen her eyes.
It looks like this now:
Add whatever else you want! I added some light textures and tiny text and ended up with this:
