Editing the Visual Appearance of Your Design

good way to make your design look more appealing.

Below you will find some examples of how you can use them, but we
highly recommend to read this article it will bring your Photoshop skills
to a new level.
On most mockups you will find layer named Overlay
Effect (marked yellow) it gives an effect of paper on
editorial mockup. Sometimes your design is too bright
or dark, to achieve more natural results, try to change
it’s Opacity and Blending Mode. We recommend to use
Screen, Soft Light, Hard Light and Overlay modes, but
you can try all of them. You can also change brightness
and contrast of this layer.
1. After you job with smart objects are done, play with Levels to achieve the desired brightness and contrast.
2. Rotate and crop your image to achieve different results.
