Step Five:
Double-click directly on that color stop you just created and Photoshop's Color Picker ap-
pears (seen here). Click-and-drag your cursor all the way over to the left side of the Color
Picker, right up against the edge (as shown here), and pick a medium gray color. As you
slide up and down that left side, let go of the mouse button and look at your photo. You'll
see the midtones changing as you drag, and you can stop at any point where the image
looks good to you. Once you find a spot that looks good (in our case, one in the center),
click OK to close the Color Picker (don't close the Gradient Editor, just the Color Picker
at this point, because there's another tweak you can do. Of course, this is all optional [you
could have stopped back at Step Three], but now we have some extra editing power if we
want it).
