Duplicate the Butterfly 4 layer.
You can duplicate layers by choosing Layer > Smart Objects > New Smart Objects Via Copy.
2 In the Layers panel, double-click the layer name, Butterfly 4 Copy. When the layer name becomes high-
lighted, type Butterfly 5 to rename the layer.
3 Double-click the Butterfly 5 layer thumbnail in the Layers panel to open the original ps1205.psd image.
Click OK to dismiss the Save dialog box if necessary. You will now add a Curves adjustment layer to
increase the contrast of both butterflies.
4 In the Adjustments panel, click the Curves icon ( )—it is the third icon in the first row of icons. The
Properties panel for curves opens.
5 Position your cursor in the middle of the curves graph, then click and drag the line upward and to the
left to increase the brightness and contrast. If you would like to match the image in this example, type
an Input value of 105 and an Output value of 137 . If you cannot see the Input and Output fields, you
might need to expand your Properties window slightly. (Additionally, if you are not able to enter these
values in, you might need to change your display options for curves. To do so, click the context menu
of the Properties panel, choose Curves Display Options and select Light (0-255).)
