I get around this with 2 layers in a group 1) Base image 2)(above) Gaussian blur, invert, and change blend to vivid light. Change blend mode of group (with 1&2) to overlay. Acts like high pass filter ~
. Looks great, but I can't quite figure out how you did it. You say there are two layers in the group, but I see three, and I don't know how you made invert into an adjustment layer. I'm so confused! Can you please clarify the steps for us iPad total beginners? Thank you so mucn!
