How to duplicate this effect?

[tjc19999]

I have some images I would like to know how to replicate the lighten/darken layers that you can see are common between these 2 images. These layers breakup the solid color leather to make it look more interesting.


Thanks in advance for any and all help.

That looks like a blend modes. Make a new layer on top of the image, color it black and white and then test it with different opacity and blend modes.

Soft Light with 15% opacity
