Hello,
I'd like to know which method do you use to apply a softness effect to your pics.
Here is my method :
1. duplicate the backgroud layer
2. apply a gaussian blur. The value of the gaussian blur effect depends on the pic size :for a 3072*2048 pic, I use a value of 50%, for 1536*1024 it's 25% and so...
3. duplicate the blured layer
4. choose for the first blured layer a darken combination with 50% opacity
5. choose for the second blured layer a lighten combination with 25% opacity
Do you use this method ? if yes what are the values of the different parameters you use ? if no can you describe your method with some samples? Thanks.
Here is an example of the method I apply.
