looks like they darkened the shadow levels and messed around with the contrast.

or they could have duplicated the layer & darkened it & used either overlay, or hard light for the blend mode...

what graphics program do you use??

[swollix]

I have Photoshop CS

[toxxxic]

see i use photoshop 7 and paintshop pro 10 ... i've never used CS but i'm sure the basics are the same

[Mr. Clean]

shadow/highlight tool will fucking rock you're face off.

not an AMAZING example as this is mostly sharpening but it can really create some crazy colors and bring stuff out

they obviously warmed it up with a warming photo filter.
sharpened a tad
and like Mr. Clean said they added some highlights.

Id have to say he darkened the highlights, lightened the shadows, threw a warm filter on it, added some contrast, sharpened it and obviously cropped out the dead space on the right and the bottom..

Anyways, op, becareful how you use the shadow/highlight feature cause you can really mess something up with that. rule of thumb for pretty much any photoshop feature: less is more
