How to get a monochromatic color wash effect ?
LawrenceT
image.. where the image has a primary color and almost all other components
of the image are a variation of that color.. and usually one or two other
colors in minor components of the image.. a good example of the effect can
be found in the Kohler ad campaign and specifically in the image of lady
with the red hair flying the plane with a green wash effect.. here's a link
to the image (from Mark Holthusen) and it can also be found on the inside
back cover of February's Vanity Fair...

I've attempted to get the effect using a color fill layer and adjusting the
blend if slides but no luck so far...
Many thanks to all for your help

This looks like clear vision, expertise and hard work. The artist
probably had dozens of source documents and the PSD could have had
hundreds of layers. I'm still a novice so there may be an easy way to
do it but I do not know of one.
Good luck

What you're looking at there is the result of highly professional studio
lighting, outstanding photography, and the result of a great deal of
professional image retouching. If even one of those elements is missing,
you won't get that effect.
You can create a wash of color very easily, simply by selecting a color
witht he Eyedropper tool and using the Edit->Fill command in Color mode,
or by filling a layer with color and then putting the layer in Color
mode. Varying the opacity of the fill or the layer will mute the effect.
Other colors can be made to stand out more by selectively enhancing
their saturation, or by compositing them on different levels. However,
the effect you're after, as shown in these images, is not something you
can sit down and do by taking a snapshot and then doing step 1, step 2,
step 3.

have not tested this but off the top
have made similar ideas like this
make an adjustment layer
Hue /sat ...tick colorize ....choose a sepia tone color
or solid color layer in tan/brown/greenish shade
go to layer modes box dropdown
try screen or overlay
you can also try as suggested vary opacity of that layer too
you can use a mask on it to let more color show through in hair eyes etc
