A really simple 3-step technique for getting perfect contrast in your photos.

Perfect contrast is slightly subjective but is always subtle. It's not an 'in-your-face' effect but still gives added punch to your photos. So watch carefully with the before and after comparisons in the video tutorial.

In summary, a curves adjustment layer is used, with its blend mode set to overlay and the opacity to 7-14% or thereabouts, depending on the image.
