    At 2:42 I decided I’d already wasted enough of my life being spoken at as if I’m a slow learner. You could cover this information in thirty seconds with a list of instructions and screenshots:

    1) CTL/CMD-J to duplicate original or original group (may need ALT-CTL-SFT-E to stamp visible, depending on your workflow)

    3) add b&w adjustment layer on top of new image layer, ALT-G to clip it to the new layer
    4) adjust tones to somewhere between garish and searing
