* Close out the background and mask layers, merge visible. Keep closed. Rezize 96%.

* Effects, plugins, xero, radiance 164, 202, 54 and 201. Ok.

* Adjust sharpness, sharpen.

* Crop if desired.

* Resize all layers checked to 650 x 650 or desired size. I always resize before adding the copyright. It makes the copyright clearer.

* Add your name, copyright info.,  proper license # (if needed), and watermark.

* Merge visible and save as PNG file.
