00:00:50
Rename the layer to "UNDEREXPOSE"
5
00:00:58
open current layer in Camera Raw Filter
6
00:01:06

8
00:01:24
Increase clarity slider to get details
9
00:01:33
Click ok to apply changes.
10
00:01:40

11
00:01:47
Rename layer to "NORMAL"
12
00:01:54
Open "NORMAL" layer in camera raw
13
00:02:02
Keep everything at zero and increase clarity
14
00:02:10
Click Ok to apply changes.
15
00:02:19
Select third duplicate layer and convert to smart object
16
00:02:27

23
00:03:30
Select all 3 layers and convert to smart object
24
00:03:44
Choose Layer - Smart Objects - Stack Mode and select a MEAN from the submenu
25
00:03:51
Mean command reads each pixel’s value from every layer and computes the average
26
00:04:08
Now add vibrance to pop colors and change blending mode to color
27
00:04:23
Finally add color lookup adjustment to color tone or grade the image
