Jostein, Duplicate the image - make a background copy in the layers palette. Change the blending mode to Multiply. The image will get perceptibly darker. Then use the opacity slider to adjust how dark you'd like the image - try around 50% for starter and move up/down from there. You may be pleased with the result ...
