Included step. At the end I sharpened the image and then adjusted it to like 30 to 40 to 50%
You don't have to do this step if you don't want too.
*Remember to change any settings that you need to change. If your results look a little bad at the end, go to the beginning and duplicate your base and set to Screen - beneath the Soft Light layer - and change the opercity if needed. Thank you very much!
