**NOTE**
I did this tutorial in Photoshop CS3 Extended which is why some of you may have problems. However, that does't mean this tutorial won't work in other versions of Photoshop. Just try it out.
Tired of having dull photos? Well make then professional looking. Just follow my tutorial. I will be using this photo I took of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, CA (If you want to add it to your graphic favorites, click here). Here's the before:
Here's the after:
To editing!
001.First, open up your photo.
002.Double-click on the little lock on your "Background Layer". It should then look like this:
003.Now do a ctrl+j twice. Rename the top layer "hardlight" & the middle layer "softlight".
004.Make your "hardlight" layer invisible by clicking on the eyeball.
005.Go to your "softlight" layer & change the blend mode to "softlight". Obvious, huh?!
006.Now make your "hardlight" layer visible by clicking on the eyeball & change its blend mode to "hardlight".
007.Change the opacity to 69%.
008.And there you have your final product! :)
If you got lost or have any questions, comment the tutorial & I'll get back to you as soon as I can. :D
