Step 24: Now click on the Cre-
ate New Adjustment Layer icon
(half-black, half-white circle) at
the bottom of the Layers panel
and choose Levels. In the Proper-
ties panel, push the black (shad-
ows) slider in a little to add more
contrast to overall design.

Step 25: Finally, add a Hue/
Saturation adjustment layer and,
in the Properties panel, set the
Saturation to around –7. This
will reduce any oversaturation
caused by the Levels adjustment.

There you have it. After you’ve
run through the exercise, try
applying this technique to your
own images. You may find that
the more you play with it, the
more likely you are to discover
other intriguing effects along the
way. Enjoy and have fun! n
