14. I used Brightness/Contrast
15. I used Gradient Map, Mode is Soft Light, Opacity at 60%, Fill at 80%
16. I used curves, Mode is Darken, Opacity 90%, Fill 80%
17. I used Levels
18. I used Photo Filter, Mode is Normal, Opacity 80%, Fill 70%
From 14-18, you have to decide which makes it look good. Some of them didn't have any of the modes, opacity, and fill which means the settings are normal
