How to create a dream effect

Hello and welcome to our seventh tutorial on AREA 1!

This is what we’ll be learning how to make today:

So let’s get started!

Open your Adobe Photoshop, make a new file (width: 500, height: 500) and then copy your image/photo. Right click on the image/photo layer and click Duplicate Layer.
See Screenshot 1.

Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur
See Screenshot 2.
and set it to 5.
See Screenshot 3.

Change the layers blend mode to Hard Light.
See Screenshot 4.

And that’s it!

Here’s my final result: Screenshot 5.
