Click on thumbnailed images to enlarge
Note: I am using adobe photoshop cs2 for this tutoria.
Okay, first off we all want to start off by opening up your image. You can do this by clicking on File > Open> and choosing your image. This below is my desired image for this tutorial:
Next, you must duplicate your image. You can do this by pressing Ctrl+j On your keyboard or by right clicking on your base layer [it should be titles 'Background'] and pressing Duplicate Layer.
Next, you want to click on your duplicated layer, which should be titled Layer 1 and under the title 'Layers' tab, there should be a drop down box, if you do not see it, I have provided a screenshot below:
Click on the the drop down list, and set your laer to Overlay.
Now you want to go to the Filter tab at the top of your program, and go under Blur AND PRESS Gausian Blur. Adjust your settings to 1.4 radius and then press OK.
If you are satisfied with your result, you may stop now and go under File > Save As >FILENAMEHERE and set the image type as .png (portable network graphic and you are done.
The next step below is optional.
Next, you can go under the Layer option at the top of your program and go under New Adjustment Layer > Curves. A new window will should pop up, adjust your settings to Input: 28 Output:42 and press OK.
Now you may stop now and go under File > Save As >FILENAMEHERE and set the image type as .png (portable network graphic) and you are done.
This is my result of the image:
