Artistic dreamy effect

Make a soft dreamy effect using simple techniques to give fantastic and artistic look to your picture.

1. Duplicate your pic. Use any method you like to soften the skin ( if you use portrait photo). I use Blur Tool because my model skin is pretty fine .

2. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E. If your portrait has dark tone, use your favourite choice to brighten it.You can use curves, Level and Brightness/contrast. I use new layer filled with white, set to Overlay 10%.

3. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E. Apply Gaussian Blur with 4px, then set this layer to Darken 100%. Add a layer mask to eraser the eyes and lips.
