Soft Glow
For all my friends who attended the CNPA Annual Meeting and enjoyed Charles Needle’s Soft Glow in camera technique – you may have images in your files that you want to try this on but too late to do it in camera!
It is ideal to do in camera where you can see what the effect is and try a variety of shots, but this may be suitable as an afterthought.
Duplicate your background and change the Blending Mode to combine the two layers… Multiply and Soft Light both work well. Then apply Filter > Gaussian Blur to the top layer. No rules here… just creative enjoyment. … You may want to reduce opacity of that layer and/or do a Levels adjustment.

so much about this, like you wrote the guide in it or something.
I believe that you can do with a few percent to force the message house a little bit, however instead of that, that is fantastic blog.
An excellent read. I’ll certainly be back.

Like it. It really brings out the image. I tried it with some other software and thought I could post it here, but guess not.
Cant’ post on my blog, but can always email me images!
I like this look!! Must try!
Works quite well… blown out areas and really dark don’t do well… but gardenscapes are particularly good!
