Re: PESO - Soft part deux (corrected url)

[Gonz]

Thanks for the comments Derby.  I think it might be useful to me to take 
a picture with a soft lens to see what it actually looks like vs the 
same picture using a normal lens.  I might take up an offer that was 
made by a member to let me borrow one.

The gaussian blur is only a layer that is partially contributing to the 
final image.  I might try adding a series of layers with varying degrees 
of contribution from each.

Another one with a similar technique as "Soft", easier to do in PS.

Comments welcome.

I like "k2" much more than "k", which seems a little flat to me. k2 has 
a lovely waking from a dream quality. Pretty girl, too. I also prefer to 
use Gaussian blur to Lens blur for this sort of thing. Lens blur tries 
to mimic iris shapes, but for me, the ideal bokeh needs a perfectly 
round aperture, hence smooth blurring
