Step Seven: I zoomed back out to a fit-to-screen view (press the Z key again) and
added a Graduated Filter (M) adjustment near the top of the image. I decreased the
Exposure and Highlights settings, and increased the Shadows, which darkened the
exposure and reduced the highlights at the top of the photo.

Step Eight: I then selected the Radial Filter tool (Shift-M) and Command (PC: Ctrl)-
double-clicked on the photo to add a Radial Filter adjustment that was auto-centered
and filled the image edges. Near the bottom of the adjustment panel, I reduced the
Feather amount to 30, and then I applied a darkening Exposure, as well as a negative
Dehaze setting. The latter applied a soft-contrast, slightly misty effect to the corners
of the photo. This gave the photo the appearance of having been shot with a single
wide-angle lens with degraded optical quality toward the edges. Moreover, it helped
focus the eye on the central content.
