Without knowing how skilled you are with photoshop I don't know what to tell you. There are many different tutorials you can find to create images such as that. You'd have to use different layers, filters, brushes, settings, etc. to end up with a final image like that.
special brushkits/burn and dodge in photoshop with multiple layers. Takes years of practice, google photoshop tutorials to learn more
That is a relatively complicated photoshop project. I am sure that image is the result of many many layers and steps to get it to that final point.





To explain them all would take too long.
The glowing light effects can be pulled off with the pen tool. All you need to do is set your brush to a soft brush then go back to your pen tool, make a curve or whatever you would like, Right click %26gt; Stroke. Be sure to set the stroke to Brush and simulate pressure. Then you would use layer styles to pull of the color.
What they've done is to create a layer under the people and used brushes to create those glowing lights.

Hope that helps and good luck!
One way you could do it is use the blurred paint brush and draw where you want (put all this in a new layer) and then double click on the layer. It'll bring up the special effects menu and you can do things such as inner/outer glow, bevel and emboss, and much more.
The glows you draw with a soft brush and then do the color glow in layer properties dropshadow.





After that flatten that layer by merging it with an empty layer. Now you can take the whole layer and diffuse it with a gaussian blur.
