I got to the point where you said, "Click inside the mask of the levels layer and using the paint brush at 100% opacity paint black over the window areas to reveal the darker below." When I do this and begin painting, nothing happens. In other words, I do not see any of the window showing through. I do, however, see some black indications on the layer mask. What am I doing wrong?
You didn't do anything wrong, I forgot to put in to drag the levels layer so that it's a between the 2 layers. THEN hold down option/alt while hovering mouse over the dividing line between the top 2 layers and click when see the circle. Rest should work-I just tested it in PSE4 to make sure got the directions right this time. Sorry
