step 26

Set the opacity of layer 3 to 44%.
By lowering the opacity of the different layers, the image becomes softer and you can still see the details through the colours.

Now we need the “girl1” psd file again. Click on the eyes of layer 2-3-4 in the layers window so they are invisible. You have the background layer and layer 1 visible now.
