If it's too bright, then you can also use Auto Levels to readjust it, or just press Ctrl+L. I've got an old tut on it but it's not all that epic >_

This is also called "Glamor Effect."
I think it's too bright, so I just mess around with the opacity bar, you should put that in your tutorial also, lol just in case some people start to nag about it.
