Step 38

Finally, let’s make the duplicated layer look like it is a little farther from the original ship. Change the layer opacity of the duplicated layer to the following:

The result:

Step 39

Now, select all the layers that we’ve created for this step and press Ctrl/Cmd + G to group these layers.

Step 40

Now, we will enhance the color and overall brightness of the image. To start, let’s create a Solid Color adjustment layer. From the Layer window, click on the “Create New Fill/Adjustment layer button”.

Once the contextual menu opens, click on Solid Color:

Now, clicking on the Solid Color option will open the Color Picker box. Now, input the following on the #: space.

Step 41

Next, let’s change the Blending mode of this Solid Color so our image isn’t filled with brown. Change the Blending mode and Opacity to:

• Blending Mode: Soft Light
• Opacity: 30%

Note: To change the Blending mode, simply click on the Solid Color and then go to the Layer window and find the “Normal” option. Click on that and it will open a contextual menu, once its open, click on Soft Light as shown on the image below

Step 42

Next, let’s adjust the overall Brightness/Contrast of the image, to do that, simply click on the Create New Fill/Adjustment layer button and then click on the Birghtness/Contrast from the contextual menu.

Once it’s open, input the following:

• Brightness: 25
• Contrast: 25
• Use Legacy: Uncheck

Step 43

Next, let’s create another Solid Color adjustment layer. This time, input the following values:

• #: 00011d

Step 44

Once your canvas is all blue, change the Blending mode and Opacity to the following:

• Blending mode: Exclusion
• Opacity: 60%

Step 45

Finally, let’s create a levels adjustment layer from the Create New Fill/Adjustment layer button.

Once it is open, input the following:

• Channel: Green
• 15, 1.00, 255

Don’t close the Levels box yet, because we would now input the following for the Blue channel:

• Channel: Blue
• 15, 1.00, 255

The resulting image should be similar to this:
