Adjusting the Contrast Layers

Now that we have the contrast layers created, the rest is very simple. Simply follow these steps to achieve your desired effect.

Step 8

Change the blending mode of the layers to the following:

  • For a high contrast effect:

    Top Layer: Screen

    Middle Layer: Multiply

  • For a low contrast effect:

    Top Layer: Multiply

    Middle Layer: Screen

    Low contrast blending modes applied.

Step 9

To reduce the strength of the effect, select the top two contrast layers and group the selected layers (Layer> Group or Ctrl+G). Then, select the new group and adjust the opacity.
