There are few things as dreamy and romantic as a soft, gentle photo. The ethereal quality of these photos make them perfect for wedding photography, portraits, and even landscapes.

So how do you create this effect in Photoshop With a few simple steps, you can turn any photo into a soft, dreamy work of art.

First, open your photo in Photoshop. Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur.

A window will pop up asking you how much blur you want to apply. The amount you choose will depend on the photo and the effect you’re going for. Experiment with different values until you find one you like.

PRO TIP: This tutorial is for advanced Photoshop users only. If you are not comfortable with using advanced Photoshop tools, then this tutorial is not for you.

Next, go to Image > Adjustments > Levels. This will open a Levels window.

Move the middle slider to the left to darken the photo or to the right to lighten it. Again, the amount you move the slider will depend on the photo and the effect you want to achieve.

Finally, go to Image > Adjustments > Vibrance. This will open a Vibrance window.

Move the Vibrance slider to the left to desaturate the colors in your photo or to the right to saturate them. Saturating the colors will make your photo look more vibrant and dreamy.

By following these three simple steps, you can turn any photo into a soft, dreamy work of art. So experiment and have fun!
