You can use the Soft Focus tool to add a dreamy quality to your images. This softening can be applied across the entire tonal range or limited to the image's midtones. To target the Soft Focus effect to a specific tonal range within your image or the entire tonal range, use the Tonal Width slider.
You can save your settings as a preset for future use.
