How Do You Make a Hazy Effect in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 1:06 pm

When it comes to digital art, there are a lot of different styles that you can go for. One popular style is the “hazy” effect, which gives your images a dreamy, ethereal look. If you’re wondering how to create this effect in Photoshop, here’s a quick guide.

The first step is to open up your image in Photoshop. Once you have your image open, go to the “Filter” menu and select “Gaussian Blur.”

Next, you’ll want to add a layer mask by clicking on the “Add Layer Mask” icon at the bottom of the Layers panel.

PRO TIP: It is possible to create a hazy effect in Photoshop, but it is important to be aware that this can result in the loss of image quality. When using this technique, it is best to use a low opacity setting and to avoid using it on images that are already low in quality.

Now, using a black brush, paint over the areas of the image that you want to keep sharp. The areas that you paint over will remain sharp, while the rest of the image will remain blurry.

Finally, go to the “Layer” menu and select “Duplicate Layer.” This will create a copy of your original layer so that you can experiment with different blending modes.

Try out different blending modes until you find one that you like.

And there you have it! That’s all there is to creating a hazy effect in Photoshop. Just remember to experiment with different blending modes until you find one that looks right for your image.
