#leveling tutorial

We will be skipping the other things~ We are focusing on leveling and diffusing today :)

The page we will be cleaning is this:

Make sure the image is in grayscale.

First, we will be diffusing. Dupilicate the image.

Then change the color to efefef. 

Then, go to image at the top, click adjustments, click replace color. Set fuzziness to 80 and lightness to 100. Next, click the image option.

Now duplicate the duplicated layer. Confusing lol. Click filter, then stylize, and then diffuse. Click the anisotropic option. 

Change the opacity to 50%.

Merge the layers together~~

Now to on to leveling.

Go to image -> adjustments -> levels.

Slide the black slider to the right until all the spots that are supposed to be black are black.

Do the same for the white side, except you slide to the left and do it until all the white spots that are supposed to be white are white.

Now just zoom in and clean all the dust and fill all the white spots that are supposed to black. And vice versa.
