The Background layer is the layer that contains our original image:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/soft-focus\/background-layer.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"266\" height=\"202\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Photoshop's Layers palette showing the original image on the Background layer.<\/div>\n<p>We need to duplicate this layer, and the easiest way to do that is by using the keyboard shortcut <span class=\"em\">Ctrl+J<\/span> (Win) \/ <span class=\"em\">Command+J<\/span> (Mac). If we look again in our Layers palette, we can see that we now have two layers - the Background layer on the bottom and a copy of the Background layer, which Photoshop has automatically named \"Layer 1\", above it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/soft-focus\/duplicate-background-layer.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"247\" height=\"237\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Layers palette now showing two layers.<\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 2:<\/span> Change The Blend Mode Of &quot;Layer 1&quot; To &quot;Overlay&quot;<\/h4>\n<p>With &quot;Layer 1&quot; selected in the Layers palette (the currently selected layer is highlighted in blue), go up to the <span class=\"em\">Blend Mode<\/span> option in the top left corner of the Layers palette. It's the drop-down box that's currently set to &quot;Normal&quot;. Click on the down-pointing arrow and select the <span class=\"em\">Overlay<\/span> blend mode from the list:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/soft-focus\/overlay-blend-mode.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"264\" height=\"237\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Changing the blend mode of \"Layer 1\" to \"Overlay\".<\/div>\n<p>If you recall from our <a href=\"\/photo-editing\/layer-blend-modes\/\"><strong>Five Essential Blend Modes For Photo Editing<\/strong><\/a> tutorial, the Overlay blend mode is part of the Contrast group of blend modes because it boosts image contrast, and it also tends to boost color saturation as well. If we look at our image now after changing the blend mode to Overlay, we can see that sure enough, the contrast and color saturation have both been increased dramatically:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/soft-focus\/image-overlay.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"650\" height=\"458\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The image after changing the blend mode of \"Layer 1\" to \"Overlay\".<\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 3:<\/span> Apply The &quot;Gaussian Blur&quot; Filter<\/h4>\n<p>Believe it or not, we're almost done! We can now add our soft focus \/ glow effect to the photo. With &quot;Layer 1&quot; still selected, go up to the <span class=\"em\">Filter<\/span> menu at the top of the screen, choose <span class=\"em\">Blur<\/span>, and then choose <span class=\"em\">Gaussian Blur<\/span>. This brings up Photoshop's Gaussian Blur dialog box. <\/p>\n<p>At the bottom of the dialog box, you'll see a slider bar which controls the <span class=\"em\">Radius<\/span> value. The higher you set the Radius value, the more blurring you'll apply to the layer. Drag the slider towards the right until the Radius value is somewhere around <span class=\"em\">8 pixels<\/span>. You may want to set the value a bit higher if you're using a high resolution image. The best thing to do is to keep an eye on your image in the document window as your drag the slider to see what effect it's having. Make sure you have the <strong>Preview<\/strong> option checked in the top right corner of the dialog box. If you set the Radius value too high, the soft focus effect will be too subtle, so try to stick with lower Radius values:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/soft-focus\/gaussian-blur-db.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"330\" height=\"339\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Dragging the slider at the bottom of the Gaussian Blur dialog box to set the Radius value.<\/div>\n<p>When you're happy with the effect, click OK to exit out of the dialog box, and you're done! Here's my photo after applying the Gaussian Blur:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/soft-focus\/final-result.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"650\" height=\"458\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The final result.<\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 4:<\/span> Lower The Opacity Of \"Layer 1\" (Optional)<\/h4>\n<p>If you find that the effect appears too strong, try lowering the <span class=\"em\">Opacity<\/span> of \"Layer 1\". You'll find the Opacity option in the top right corner of the Layers palette directly across from the Blend Mode option. Here I'm lowering the opacity to around 60%:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/soft-focus\/lower-opacity.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"247\" height=\"237\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Lowering the opacity of \"Layer 1\" to reduce the intensity of the effect.<\/div>\n<p>The soft focus effect now appears less intense:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/soft-focus\/image-opacity.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"650\" height=\"458\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The image after lowering the opacity of \"Layer 1\".<\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 5:<\/span> Change The Blend Mode To &quot;Soft Light&quot; (Optional)<\/h4>\n<p>Another easy way to reduce the intensity of the effect is to change the blend mode of \"Layer 1\" from \"Overlay\" to <span class=\"em\">Soft Light<\/span>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/soft-focus\/soft-light-db.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"259\" height=\"237\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Changing the blend mode of \"Layer 1\" to \"Soft Light\".<\/div>\n<p>The Soft Light blend mode is also part of the Contrast group of blend modes, but its effect is much more subtle than what the Overlay blend mode gives us:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/soft-focus\/image-soft-light.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"650\" height=\"458\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The image after changing the blend mode of \"Layer 1\" to \"Soft Light\".<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-bottom { width:300px; padding-top:16px;padding-bottom:16px; }\n<\/style><div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300x250 page bottom responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-bottom\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2879809098\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n\t data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>And there we have it!
