soft focus

Post by eja »

I am trying out the demo I recently downloaded. Does anybody know how to apply a soft focus type effect on portions of a portrait? I am able to do this using LR, but I am considering moving from LR to Corel.

Thanks

1 using negative values in the local contrast tool will soften the image
2 the zSoften Plugin will give you many softening options
