The Soft Glow Effect

Contributor: Matt Lauder

Length: 9.54

Added: 04/12/2011

Category: Retouching Techniques

Quite often you will see images online on websites like flickr etc where the landscape image has a nice softness about it, but at the same time still sharp. Well in this tutorial we show you how we go about applying this technique to a shot for both web presentation and for print.

We explain why this should be done as the last step of your workflow and not applied to your master print file and how it should be done once your image has been resized.

This is one of those Wow techniques that you will just love using over and over again.
