Select the Curves Layer and double-click on it. This will open up the Layer Style dialog Box. Now Alt + Click on the Underlying Layer Slider right pointer. This will split the pointer into 2. Now move the left half of the newly created half and slide it to the right to your liking. Same with the right half, but not too much left.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”11050″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Now we’ll take care of the lighter areas.

Create a new Layer inside the group.

Go to the Underlying slider & this time select the left slider arrow (the dark one) and Alt + Click to split in half. Move the right half of the pointer as far to the right as how much you need. Then do the same with the left half till you get desired results. You can also play with the opacity.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”11053″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Click Ok.
