Creating a Skin, Can some one do a ~1 min photoshop edit for me Please!? :D

Hey, I need some one to help me,

I'm making a skin for my new laptop to be shipped with ( Gaming Laptops - XOTIC PC - Gaming Notebooks - Custom Laptops - Custom Notebooks does amazing skins)

But I'm currently between laptops and have no access to any photo shop.

This project requires extremely basic knowledge of photoshop,

Take this image;

And please make it darker!

I love it but the rest of my laptop is brownish, only a darker image would work with it.

My suggestions: Lower the color, I'm not really sure on how

OR

Make an entire block of black on a slide ontop of it, then make it Soft Light, should be easy enough and produce exactly what I want

Pleease help!
Thanks in advance!

Try these, they're a little different. If you had something different in mind, just say so.

 

It turns out the required resolution for a custom design is 1920x1200,

Can you please do that once more for me?

Use this higher def image:
