When I say my new favorite, I don't mean this is new...it's just my favorite effect for now. It's called the soft focus effect. It's relatively simple, although I don't think I'll be doing it to every image in a wedding just yet ;) It basically involves duplicating the image layer and blurring it, then either making it an overlay or changing the opacity to 50% (below are examples of each technique.) Nice huh?
