Could always make a compromise Bert. Far from optimal however...
Duplicate the layer. With the new duplicated layer selected, enter Saturation (control+u), select the colorize check box. Change the hue slider to 230 (blue), then boost saturation to around 30. Click ok. Change the duplicated layer to lighten. Select the original background layer and raise the red channel black point with levels (control+l) by a few points to get rid of the red background. Season to taste.
Quick tip in Photoshop. If you make a mistake perform adjustments in one of Photoshops adjustment dialog boxes - curves, level, saturation etc etc. simply hold down the Alt key and the cancel button will turn into a reset button. When selected the settings will revert back to defaults. Saves you having to click cancel and go back in to the dialog again. I use CS2, not sure about the other versions.
