Note that this works best when the image is high resolution.
1) On the main image make sure that the layer is selected and then go to the top menu bar and click on 'Layer' --> 'Duplicate Layer'. You should now have a duplicate copy layer of your main image.
2) With the duplicate layer selected, set the blending mode on the 'Layers' toolbox to 'Overlay'. The image should have changed a bit in contrast after selecting this mode.
3) Next, go into the top menu bar and click on 'Filter' and scroll all the way down to 'Other' --> 'High Pass'. Set the radius percent to 7.5 and then hit 'OK'.
4) Then go into the top menu bar called 'Image'-->'Adjustments'-->'Gradient Map'. Pull up the gradient map and set the top two colors to the image of the diagonal black and white picture box. Then on the lower left part of the screen, drag the black color box to the right about an inch or more. Then do opposite for the white color box on the right hand side of the screen, drag it to the left an inch. For more of a metallic like effect, drag the middle selector to the right a bit and the result should be the grey color scale expanding more towards the white color box.
5) Click on your main layer and then duplicate it. Then go into the blending mode from the 'Layers' toolbox and select 'Overlay'. With the new copy layer selected go into 'Filter' -->'Other'-->'High Pass' and this time set the radius to a lower percent like around 2.1 or so.
6) Then finally go into 'Layer' --> 'New Fill Layer' --> 'Solid Fill' press 'OK' and then choose an orangey-gold color. Select 'OK' again and then go into the 'Opacity' menu attached to the 'Layer' toolbox and set the opacity to about 20% or whatever suits your needs for how much of the color you want to show up in the picture.
7) You have just created a Dynamic Black and White image. To watch the original tutorial video please click here.
