    Duplicating layers with different opacity problem

    Duplicating layers with different opacity problem

    Hi, I'm a portrait photographer and I have learned some new techniques that require me to make some adjustments/apply filters/etc, on a background duplicate layer and then to tone down the effect that I've created by lowering the opacity of that new layer.
