Other areas can be moved more in line with the desired result by using the dodge tool. A few touches of extra saturation in a couple of areas, and that just leaves the addition of a purple cast. Note I've not used masks, layers or any of the other tools available in PI. I've yet to see a PS tutorial that can't be replicated in PI, it just does it differently.

The photo was processed in 3 layers. A sharp layer, a blur layer and the background. The top layer was blended using Screen and the second layer blended using Multiply. These were also selectively dodged and burned before flattening. I don't think the low res version is highlighting the effect particularly well, but it cannot be achieved in one layer.
