For adjustment layer 1, I adjusted the levels to 24, 1.00, 215 which made the picture have more highlights than shadows, therefore giving the picture more contrast. Along with that, I adjusted the black/white based on the colors in the photo which either made them lighter or darker, so my final numbers were red=22, yellow=115, green=132, cyan=54 and I didn't adjust the blue or magenta because it did not make a significant difference to the picture.

                                                          












For adjustment layer 2, I lowered the level of the curve, there for making the have darker shadows and brighter highlights. Then when I did option-click it made a copy of the curves in another layer.




                                                         

            









For adjustment layer 3, I adjusted the vibrance to +55 which increased the intensity of the more muted colors such as the bricks, and then I adjusted the saturation to +29 which increased the vividness of the colors in the picture. The greens, blues and reds were equally boosted.
