There’s nothing quite like a ‘How did you do that?’ question to prompt a tutorial, so seeing as I was asked how I created this ‘Soft Glow’ effect on a series of images recently I thought I’d share with you all exactly what’s involved.
This really is one of those blink and you’ll miss it tips as there’s only maybe 3 or 4 very simple and quick steps involved, so go ahead, click ‘Play’ and enjoy
