one option I use often is Layers > New from visible

This comes in handy when doing gradient maps as well. I would highly suggest a better quality stock as well. The one you have there looks fuzzy and the tonal depth looks rather shallow. This will have an impact on the outcome of this tutorial.

There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

See that looks cool!

Stretch a bit and try out Colours > Curves  or Colours > Levels
