But first I have a quick tip today on how to make your photos pop with one simple step. I am always surprised at how many people have never tried this, so I thought I'd share it. I am not a pro photographer by any means but I can definitely handle this.
Step 1: Open your photo.
Step 2: Duplicate your photo (ctrl j)
Step 3: Set the blending mode to Screen (or Multiply for an overexposed photo).
Step 4: If your photo is still too dark, duplicate (ctrl j) the screen (or multiply) layer as many times as needed until it's just the way you like it. You can also adjust the opacity until you achieve just the right balance.
That's it! Here are a few before & afters. It took about 2 minutes to edit all three :)
And finally, here is your letter - D
