Digital Photography Soft Focus

In our boudoir portraiture and glamour photographs we often want a soft focus look to add a romantic look to the photos or to conceal skin blemishes. Traditionally, this was done by putting various soft focus filters on front of the lens. There are two problems with this approach. First, you are then having to focus the camera through the soft focus lens which can be hard at times. Secondly, you are stuck with the amount of soft focus that the combination of lens, lens aperature, and filter provide. Now we leave the soft focus filters at home and use Photoshop to add the effect later, which allows us to add just the right amount of soft focus effect that we need.
