The Orton Effect
With the Orton effect, sharp and blurred versions of a photo are mixed
together. Copy the background layer with Control/Command + J, and
click on Image → Apply Image. Change the blending mode to “Screen” and
click “OK.” Copy the current layer again with Control/Command + J.
Apply a Gaussian Blur to this copy by clicking Filter → Blur → Gaussian Blur.
The value will depend on the size of the image. The shapes should always
blur slightly. Set the blending mode for the layer to “Multiply.”
The Orton effect creates contrast and depth.
