The only problem with this is that is reduces the detail of the image since you are saturating the image more, making this technique somewhat bad.
Using one duplicated layer set to multiply and then desaturating/recoloring it it helps a lot, then use various gradients to brighten the image back up. That's what I do now as opposed to what you're referring to.
What you mentioned doesn't give the same effect at all (doesn't have the airbrushed appearance at all). Not a bad thing, but just the case.

Yea the way I worded it was bad I guess, the way I mentioned wasn't meant to give the same effect, it is more of a way to darken the shadows and highlight the lights, so I don't aim for the airbrushed effect, I aim for an image that improves on the lights and darks, that's why I prefer soft light.
For example the Ashe image you linked is amazing, and I really do like your style of desaturting/recoloring then using the gradients, but my taste in art itself is something that shows a lot of color while showing the darks and the lights. It's kinda hard to explain since I learned it from one of my art teachers.
If you found me helpful give me some +Rep :)

Both options are good in different ways. I was mostly referring to a different way to do the thing in my old tutorials. Since, as stated, what I used to do isn't really all that great. xD

@emoriam, here's what I have ^_^ I kept it simple, since I don't know the context of the picture, but I think it turned out okay.
Thanks for the sig, looks nice!
Btw, the context is The Walking Dead, just saying :p
Thanks to Natuhlee for this sig!
I need some extra art for my guide and I just had this idea.
A similar, PURPLE-WHITE-ISH warning sign on left side of this picture made into size 700 x 50 header. The eye should be in the header. Crop the original text out or cover it.
Text: WARNING
Font: Magmawave Caps and Wide Latin ( 2 versions ) -> Magmawave Caps.
Thanks 3mi ;)

@Jamespongebob, there wasn't really anything I could add haha. The image itself was already pretty classy :3 I added the text and border to finish off the look. If you'd really like me to add a little more, let me know and I'll see if I can match anything with it.
@NRS, do you mean something like this? If this isn't what you had in mind, clarify and I'll fix it ^_^
