Sixth, click on the drop-down menu and select Sepia, then adjust the density from 25% to 40%, this will perk up the sepia tone on the photograph.
Seventh, choose Window in the top menu and select Layers, this is where you can go in and readjust all the changes you have made in the adjustment layers. Simply double click on the circled symbol to make further adjustments in the adjustment layers.

Hi! I'm Becca Coe and I'm a photographer and graphic designer living in the Baltimore/Washington area of Maryland. I love traveling, photography, and designing just about anything.
I like to spend hours with my camera or tinkering around on my computer, designing something new. I like a clean and crisp look to anything I put my time into, but also with a creative eclectic feel. If it stands out it stays.
