[ 77 ]STEP NINE:
MASK OUT THE SUN &
THE AREAS AROUND IT
Click on the mask for the Curves adjust-
ment layer to select it. Get the Brush
tool again and choose a really large,
soft round brush. Press D, then X to
set your Foreground color to black, and
then paint over the sun and the areas
around it to remove the Curves effect.
STEP 10:
ADD AN OVERALL DARKENING
Similarly, let’s create one more Curves
adjustment layer above Curves 1, click
to create a point in the middle of the
curve, and drag it down.
Right-click on the Curves 2 layer
and choose Blending Options. In the
Blend If section, Option-click (PC: Alt-
click) on the right Underlying Layer
slider, splitting it, and then drag the
left half all the way to the left. Click OK.
