3 minute tutorial : Soft Glow look

[Dylan & Marianne]

I had some time over the last few days to put together another photoshop tutorial
Let me know what you think - I use this to some degree in most images to achieve a softer look to an image and to take away the harshness which sharpening can sometimes give an image.

Good. Just what I was looking for: sharpening with hi-pass filter and layers.
Ta, Am.

Ed to add, Dylan. Could you post up the result, maybe with some qualification about how you exaggerated some of the steps for illustration?

Thanks Dylan, I haven't had much chance to look at your latest tutorials but seeing this I know what I have been missing. :th3: I have to add, your calm voice is great in teaching mode as it is very easy listening. Thanks. I'll try to catch up on the others when I have time. :)

[Dylan & Marianne]

thanks Allie and Mary Anne! - I get a fair bit of practice in my real work trying to keep calm lol

I had a go at it on one of my images and it`s pretty easy to do and I liked the result so thanks Dylan.

[Dylan & Marianne]

no worries graeme ! glad it worked out :)

Thanks for that. I like your tutorial, it is nice and easy to follow.
I've tried it quickly and the effect is nice (although I need to spend a bit more time playing around, I think)

Thanks Dylan,

I've been messing around with soft glow for last couple of weeks but you've helped fill in some spaces :)
