01. Crop your picture, sharpen, etc. (If you're working with a dark picture, you might want to duplicate the base and set it to screen once or twice, which is what I did)

Input: 192
Output: 204
to
03. Duplicate the curves layer twice.
to

Reds: -93, 0, 0, 0
Neutrals: 0, +2, 0, +18

Blue: -40, +50, 100
