In this final part (phew~) you'll learn how to enhance nightshots using similar techniques. Only one image is required, although you can have more of them and stack them on top of each other.
Step 1 – Load Images
Step 2 – You'll Get This
Step 3 - Create Layer From Background
Right click on the locked background layer and select Layer From Background… a mobile layer will be created.
Step 4 – Duplicate Layer
Select the layer and right click on it. Select Duplicate Layer… to create a copy of the same layer.
Step 5 – Change the Blending Options
Select the new layer, most probably named Layer 0 Copy, and change it's Blending Mode to Screen.
Step 6 – Duplicate the New Layer
Select the Layer 0 Copy, right click it and then select Duplicated Layer… to create new copies of the layer with their blending options already set to Screen. This saves you the effort to changing the blending mode of each layers individually. The reason why the bottommost layer's blending option is not set to screen because it doesn't matter. Only the layers above it needed to be changed to screen. Duplicate the layers until you've seen the desired result. For me, I've duplicated the new layer 3 times, so I have 4 layers in total. Can you see that the brightness of the image is enhanced? Here is the final image with some touch ups done (to remove noise):
And here is the demo file for the last part (13.71mb):

teddy, do you have PS CS3? Any idea whats the difference between CS 2 and CS 3? Cos i just got CS 3 but i havent got the time to explore…
Nicholas: You’re welcome! Hope it is of good use to you!

Rei: Awww don’t say that. You don’t owe me any comments, since the comments are made upon my own free will ;) haha! Anyways I love chocolate mint too! Maybe because of the mint :D it’s refreshing!
Grace: Thank you! Hope the tutorial is useful to you :)
yanni: I think the only major difference is the addition of better functions as we move from Adobe Photoshop CS to CS3. I don’t think they changed the user interface a lot, but I heard that CS3 has a lot more functionality than CS2. One of the major highlights, if not mistaken, is the improvement of Adobe Bridge and support for Raw Images, which both I don’t use :D LOL!
When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Thanks a lot!
Thanks for your good will and time spent to share your knowledge.
It topic has been up for debate really a lot of instances but not one of the posts had been as comprehensive as yours. Admin I desire to see this kind of high quality posts from you in the future.
