f). Create a new Fill Layer, and fill it with #CDCDCD. Drag your level doooowwwn down down, right below your base.

g). Duplicate the Fill Layer. Set it (the duplicated) to Multiply, 20-30% opacity.

h). Set your base-level to Color Burn.

As you have probably noticed, this tutorial *really* works better with low-saturated and pretty bright images.
