Best composite/overlay mode for affecting only highlights.
Posted: Tue Feb 16, 2021 8:12 amWhat is the best composite mode to use if my goal is to apply noise only to my brightest highlights?
I commonly find that while I may want to denoise the shadows and midtones of my image, I kind of like the aesthetic of grainy/noisey highlights.
I have some film grain overlays that I'd like to affect only my highlights, perhaps rolling off gently as image goes toward midtones.
Maybe some kind of gradient denoiser?
Any ideas?
