Hello friends, for today's #TreeTuesday post, I edited one of my old photos to give a soft glow effect. I first used Lightroom to edit the picture to my liking, then exported to Photoshop for the softening glow. In Photoshop I duplicated the original layer, and gave it a 20% Gaussian blur with a layer opacity of 30%. Using a layer mask, I masked out the tree in the foreground to bring the details back in, leaving the background with the soft glow effect.
