Re: [Digital BW] OT-Diffusion Techniques

Mark...

Nooo, that is just wild.

My brother-in-law is a director of photography (cinematographer) and he has been using some very expensive hose for his motion picture productions for years. He made me a few filters by stretching the stocking over a filter ring and gluing it in place with clear nail polish.

Now I can trash the filter.

Thanks

Mike

  You can also do diffusion, similar to using that black panty hose 
  stretched over embroidery frame technique, by:

  Take you main image.
  Duplicate the layer.
  Set the duplicated layer to DARKEN.
  Do GaussianBlur on the duplicated layer.
  Adjust opacity, view at 100% mag., and watch the blacks in the 
  image begin to "glow". Opacity will probably be set to very slight.

  Or, to get that Softar look, when the diffusion is on the camera, 
  do the same thing as above, but set the new layer to LIGHTEN, 
  and then the highlights will glow.
