This tutorial demonstrates how to create a vivid soft focus photographic conversion - utilising Adobe Photoshop Elements versions 7, 8 & 9. (Newer Photoshop Elements versions are slightly different, however, with a little knowledge my tutorials can still be utilised). This is a step by step tutorial and is suitable for Intermediate to Advanced students. It includes many informative screen captures that speed up the learning process. This is part of a series of over 300 tutorials that I have written for Photoshop Elements. Each of my Photoshop Elements tutorials is step by step and packed with helpful screen captures - so you can follow my instructions every step of the way without ever getting lost.

I have designed these tutorials so you can begin to use the tools in Photoshop Elements to immediately get brilliant results - and they can be read on your Kindle, iPad, PC, Mac, Smart Phone and Tablet.
Many of my students have emailed me over the years to say my Photoshop Elements tutorials are the best they have read and the easiest to follow; in fact, several Universities currently utilise my Photoshop Elements tutorials teaching their students on campus. Normally I sell my 300+ Photoshop Elements tutorials as a bundle, however, I have made these tutorials available for those of you who maybe just want to use a specific technique and who don't wish to purchase my full collection.
