It looks to me more like overexposure than dark blue.

Well in order to get the first image, it'd be as simple as slightly lowering the saturation. Then going into curves and bumping up the blue curve until you get the desired effect. That's what I came up with while playing around with it

im will try that but just one observation: the azulprevio.jpg preservs the original tone, even from the skin, it gets darker with everthing on the image.

i hope that lowering the saturation and then playing with the blue curve maybe i can get the effect,i just wanna evade the "everything its blue effect" like creating only a blue layer and dropping the oppacity.

If you someone have more ideas or details on how to get this effect please let me now...thanks

to get the ghost effect use
layers
solid colour as white
select overlay in the blend mode
and then change the opacity to get the right effect
