How To Create Beautiful Soft Glow Portraits In Photoshop
welcome to psdesire photoshop & photography Youtube Channel.
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to enhance your photos, especially portrait shots,
using a soft glow effect which not only softens the overall image
but also helps to smooth skin, boost contrast and 
enhance colors, all at the same time.
Let's get started!
First duplicate background layer and Change The 
Blend Mode To Soft Light
Apply a Gaussian Blur smart filter to the layer.
To do that, go up to the Filter menu, choose Blur, 
and then choose Gaussian Blur
The amount of blur you need will depend a lot on the 
size of your image
Generally, a fairly low radius value of around 8 to 10 pixels is a good place to start
Highlight details in the image are little blown out due to over exposed.
i want to fix this with curves adjustment layer
now we just darken our highlights but i need this 
effect apply only to lighter area. So i use apply image
Make sure you clicked on layer mask Then from 
Image menu, Image> Apply Image and use the same 
settings as in dialog box
uncheck the invert to effect only lighter area,
in other case if u want effect apply to shadows then tick the invert option.
we get an image that has a lot of visible detail
Here before & after results.
If you want more intense glowing portrait simply 
duplicate the background copy once.
That's how to enhance your images with a soft glow effect
using the power of blending mode & Smart Filters in Photoshop!
