Here we have to observe that there is a backlight principle, a part of the light of the human body is shaded by the body and appears dark, where the girl's backlight part needs half of the shadow, so to create a new layer above the girl layer, use the soft corner brush tool to adjust the opacity a little bit, I set about 13% here About the opacity and flow, in the girl's back, arms, legs can not be infected with the light of the place smear, finished on the layer on the right mouse click, select "Create Clipping mask";
