Step 12

Add a Curves adjustment layer and reduce the lightness. On this layer mask, use a soft black brush with the opacity about 50% to reduce the dark effect as the screenshot below shows.

Make another Curves adjustment layer and increase the light. On this layer mask, use a soft black brush to reduce the light effect on some parts which are bright enough.

Step 13

Create a new layer below the window’s group and use a soft brush with two colors (#0218a5 and #011e48) to paint on the background. Lower the opacity of this layer to 40%.
