holding the Shift key, drag this
image back to the original docu-
ment and place the layer at the
top of layer stack (it’s important
to hold the Shift key so this layer
is aligned with the original layers).
Then, set the blend mode to Over-
lay and drop the layer Opacity to
50%. You can see it adds more
contrast to the scene.
Step 24: You can also use this HDR-
toned layer to change the tempera-
ture of the image. Press Command-U
(PC: Ctrl-U) to open the Hue/Satura-
tion dialog again. Check on Colorize
and use these settings here to add a
subtle warm cast to the layer. Click
OK when done.
Step 25: All that’s left is to add
some text, and you can see how
I added the text shown in the final
image by clicking here to watch
a video tutorial. Remember to experi-
ment with these effects and see how
they can be useful by themselves,
or combined, to create your own
custom movie poster look. [For
