>>3421304Now we're back in Photoshop. As you can see I edit using a white background. Why? Because if you use a dark background your images will turn out too dark, especially if you are printing. (That's a whole other thread).
The first thing I did with this image after the conversion was to use a high pass filter. I honestly do not remember exactly what it does, but it increases contrast (probably some photoshop guru who knows what it does). I set the filter to 1000, and then "overlay" and 15% opacity.
