TLR Diffuse Glows is a collection of 25 Photoshop actions for adding diffuse
glows and dreamy, soft focus effects to your photographic images

The available actions include the following:


Diffuse Glow 1	     		Adds a general diffuse glow to the image
   -to-    	      
Diffuse Glow 5     

High Key Glow 1	     		Adds a diffuse glow to brighter image tones.
   -to-    	      
High Key Glow 5     

Low Key 1			Adds a diffuse glow to darker image tones.
     -to-    	     
Low Key 5
       
Dreamy Focus 1      		Adds a diffuse glow to brighter image tones
     -to-    	     		and a moderate to strong Gaussian Blur to add
Dreamy Focus 5       		a dreamy appearance.
      
Soft Focus 1      		Adds a general diffuse glow to the image and
     -to-    	     		a slight to moderate Gaussian Blur to soften
Soft Focus 5       		the focus.

On Photoshop CS/CS2, the Dreamy Focus and Soft Focus actions will create a
Layer Set/Group to better manage the resulting layers.

You can alter the effect by adjusting layer opacities, Blend If settings, or
layer blend modes. The diffuse glow actions use either a Soft Light or Overlay
blend mode. Changing Soft Light to Overlay will heighten the effect, as will
changing Overlay to Hard Light.

The Dreamy Focus and Soft Focus actions make calls to the High Key and Diffuse
Glow actions. You can also alter the effect by making a call to an action with
a larger (or smaller) effect.
