Step Five: Next, go to the Edge Glow section
and check on Smooth Edges. Then, nudge the
Radius and Strength sliders a little to the right,
depending on how strong an effect you want.
Click OK when done.Step Six: Using the Move tool (V), hold the
Shift key and drag-and-drop this image back
into the original layered file. The Shift key will
center the HDR image, aligning it with the
original image. Drag the HDR toned layer to
the top of the layer stack. Set the layer blend
mode in the Layers panel to Soft Light and
drop the layer Opacity to 50%.
You can, of course, try other blend modes,
depending on the image. Remember that every
image will react differently to this effect, so
think of this example as a springboard to get
you started. Experiment with various settings to
get a better idea of how they work, and this will
open even more creative possibilities.
