Author Website: Create A New "Chanel Mixer" Layer

This document provides steps to edit a photo using Photoshop layers and filters. It instructs the user to open an original photo, create new layers for channel mixing, color balancing, and curves adjustments. It then has the user apply Gaussian blur, change blending modes, and add a gradient map to recover skin detail on a separate layer with 30% opacity. The final result allows full control over the skin area through separating it onto its own layer.
