of the image has been rendered to about
50-percent gray, and only some darker
edges and highlights remain. Now change
the mode to Soft Light. This layer now
merges seamlessly and naturally with the
layer below but sharpens the image and
brings out fine details. In Soft Light Merge
mode, only the colors that are darker
or lighter than 50-percent gray will be
affected; colors darker than 50-percent
gray will be darkened and colors lighter
than 50-percent gray will be lightened.
This layer can be duplicated one or more
times to multiply its effect to further
intensify fine details.
In the third layer, I want to correct
harsh shadows and highlights and make
visible details that would otherwise be
lost, such as areas under the wheel well,
rear tires and the harsh reflections on the
hood. Click on the third layer and turn on
the "eye" and go to Adjust > Desaturate.
This will render the layer to grayscale.
Next go to Image > Transform > Invert.
This creates a negative image. Next go to
Effects>Blur>Gaussian Blur and adjust
Radius to about 40 pixels (Figure 6).
Change the mode to Soft Light. In the Soft
Light mode, the inverted light and dark
gray areas will have the effect of lightening
the dark areas and darkening lighter areas
of the image. I've adjusted the opacity of
this layer to about 60 percent.
Next, click on the fourth layer, turn on
the "eye" and change the mode to Overlay.
This is my favorite Merge mode, especially
when merging two completely different
images together to create one blended image.
In this instance, the result is a darker, realistic
contrasting effect. I've set the opacity of this
layer to 60 percent.
Change the fifth layer to the Screen mode.
This will create a very natural lightening
effect. Click on the fifth layer, turn on the
"eye" and change the mode to Screen. I've
set the opacity on this layer to 35 percent.
The sixth layer will be used to correct
the overall blueish tone caused by the
overcast sky. Click on the sixth layer
and turn on the "eye". Go to Adjust >
Desaturate. This will render the layer in
grayscale but still allow for color to be
added. Go to Adjust>Color Balance and
adjust the sliders, adding more red and
yellows in the Midtones (Figure 7). This
will give the layer a sepia tone effect. Now
change the mode to Soft Light and move
the Opacity slider to 40 percent. This will
have the effect of "warming" the colors
of the image without creating unnatural
yellowing in the sky or in the white areas
of the truck.
