    Achieving a realistic soft lighting effect in post processing (Photoshop)

    Understandable. On some images depending on the original lighting the action is very strong where on others it is not. You can always go into the action and up the curves layer of it to make it a more strong effect but I personally like the very subtle effect this gives. For me this...

    Achieving a realistic soft lighting effect in post processing (Photoshop)

    I found the actions and presets on a website called shutter pulse. Personally I like the matte actions they have and it is the look I was specifically going for. It keeps the color true but fades the photo a bit while bring that flat brighter look to it. I personally enjoy doing some...

    Achieving a realistic soft lighting effect in post processing (Photoshop)

    The new edit on your photo seems more like a white vignette but that white glow seems like it is part of look to the photo as well. I looked at that older thread and the examples she shows were more of a dreamy bright look then the coloring I am thinking of, but combined with the coloring might...

    Achieving a realistic soft lighting effect in post processing (Photoshop)

    Here is an example of one of the methods I am working on right now. I have done a selective color adjustment layer and went to red, blue, neutrals, black and yellow and put the blacks down to around -15 (but it is different on each photo depending on lighting and colors) I did a solid color...

    Achieving a realistic soft lighting effect in post processing (Photoshop)

    I am referring to the coloring of the photo and how it looks "creamy" I understand how to get the blur effect but the lighting looks so creamy. I am not sure if "soft light" would be a good description but it looks soft to me. The coloring and lighting is what I am trying to accomplish. I...
