Date: Thursday, 16 January 2025 16:28 (UTC)I use an old version, photoshop CS2 but I've also tried in GIMP.
What I do first is:
>Duplicate the original layer,
>'sharpen' the image and erase it just a bit so it's not too sharp.
>Set that layer on 'Screen' and lower the opacity/fill as I like.
>Then to get a soft bright look, I use a gradient of white & dark brown on a new layer
>Set this layer on 'Hard light' and change the opacity/fill or use eraser.
Mainly screen and erasing around until I get the desired look.
