I’m having a lot of fun with the diffusion module. Although I’m not 100% happy with the masking approach, I think you can achive a lot of cool stuff with it.
I have this picture for you to play with and challange you to give it a nice mood and maybe give the glow a shot.
I had this picture as a reference for the look AE1 / 50mm / Cinestill 800T + 85B. I really dig the colors, glow and general look of it. Maybe someone can help me getting closer to that look.
I first went to a colorful rendition in the same spirit as yours, but was not satisfied.
After I thought to get a contrast between the woman face and the background with a teal and orange look. After that, I put some contrast on the face and blurred the background with “smoothing in glow mode”.
