HDR Tutorial, Step 3, adding some soft light

The first thing that I do after I have completed the cloning is to add a layer of soft light. The soft light usually gives the photo a better punsh. It's also quite common change the curve for the soft light so that it looks like an s-curve.

Adding soft light to the photo does however make it darker.










Soft light is a curve layer that is set to "mode" soft light.
