: How do you nearly darken an image in Photoshop? I have been trying to darken pictures of animals but the it only darken the darks and I wanted the whites to darken. What are ways to accomplish

@Caterina889

These images aren't "darkened". These are illustrations and were drawn/painted to have that appearance.

If you want the same general style, you need to draw/paint in the same general manner. Not everything is merely a "photoshop trick" to accomplish. Some things actually take artistic skill.

If this is what you're looking for, just simply add a Brightness/Contrast filter with both brightness and contrast set to 0. Then change the blend mode of the filter to "Multiply". This will darken the image, hopefully in the way you want.



However, this is not the only way to darken the image. The same result can be achieved by applying other filters such as Levels (Ctrl + L) and Curves. Play around with the values until you get what you want.
