Does anybody know how to make an image look like a dream? A way to make the image look like it's glowing and hazy? Thanx in advance, Adam

Here is one way to do it: -Copy the background layer with the image on it. -On the top layer, apply a gausian blur, adjust the settings to give you a nice blurry look that you like. -Change this to a Screen blend mode. -Merge the layers down -Make a copy of the background again -Change this to multiply blend mode -Merge the layer down. (This last part brings the original brightness, contrast, colors , etc back after the screen blend) -Trav

Thank you SO much Trav!! It worked out perfectly!

Cool :) You can also add some extra layers in there and apply like the ripple filters or other of the same type. Just remember to keep the screen/multiply balance or your colors will get all messed up.

Awesome, thanks.

hey friends, whats this "screen blend" and "multiple blend"? can you describe how to choose it from the menus, because i have a german version of PS thanx in advance, Karsten

Check on your layers palette when you have multiple layers. Spanfarkle<;)>

will do it! thanx spanfarkle.. btw..spanfarkle...is it a little pig with an apple in the mouth? :o) thats what we german call "Spanferkel"?

Go to "layer options" by clicking the little arrow in the upper right corner of the layers pallete. Make sure you selected a different layer other than the background, otherwise it will be disabled. Then change the mode to "screen" or "multiply". I don't know if it is different for the German version or not, but that's how I do it. =) . Adam

thanx for explaining Adam, i guess i will find it this way though everything is labeled in german :o) Seeya, Karsten
