Step 44

To increase the sharpness of the image. Create a merged copy of image (Cmd/Ctrl + Opt/Alt + Shift + E), Convert it to Smart Object (right click on layer > Convert to Smart Object). Go to Filter > Other > High Pass. Set Radius to 2.0 pixels and click OK. Change Blending Mode to "Linear Light" and reduce Fill to 50% (do not use Opacity).

Step 45

There was only final image color correction. I wanted to make blue color a more bright and defiant. So I use "Color Balance" adjustment layer (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Color Balance) and made changes only for midtones. Set for Cyan-Red: -15 (more cyan tint on image) and Yellow-Blue: +18 (more blue tint). Change Blending Mode to "Color" to effect only on color in picture and reduce Opacity to 50%.

Step 46

The next and final adjustment layer is needed to increase the saturation of all colors. Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Vibrance... Make Vibrance: +20 and Saturation: +4. I use "Vibrance" layer because is a smart-tool which cleverly increases the intensity of the more muted colors and leaves the already well-saturated colors alone. I was able to gently influence the colors do not overexpose picture. Change Blending Mode to "Color".

Step 47

And now digress from the tutorial. The picture is ready, and I offer a variant of what I told you about the experiments. I just changed the color of flare on the top layer "Hue/Saturation" I move some tapes and created the latest a merged copy of image, rotate in and increase size with Free Transform Tool (Cmd/Ctrl + T). And now, a completely new variant of picture.

Final Results

That's all! Look at the finished result. I hope that you get exactly the picture. Do not be afraid to experiment! It is always justified. Have a question or a comment? Leave it in comment - section below :)
