        • There is no right or wrong amount of color

Step 3

    • Temperture/Tint
    • Exposure
    • Contrast
    • Whites/Blacks
    • Highlights/Shadows

Step 4

  • Under the Effects section

      • You may add as much grain or as little as you would like
    • Move the Vignetting Slightly to the left.
