   2. Read through the tutorial.
   3. Open one of your own images that you can use a CONTRAST MASK to make the image look better.  If you don’t have one of your own images, you may use one that you find on the internet.  
   4. Save or export your original image (before you adjust it) to your photography folder as:  “18_ContrastMaskOriginal.jpg”
   5. Follow the steps in the tutorial to adjust the contrast over a selected area.  
   6. To complete this assignment, you need to create and export your adjusted image to your photography folder using the name:  “18_ContrastMaskEdited.jpg”
