Trying to recreate this tutorial.

Wondering what would properly recreate this. I can't figure out what "soft light" would be.

Have you thought of using the "soft-light" option for compose ?
Original:

Pegtop:

Softlight:

What were you composing the image with? I can't figure out what command you used..

the results look good though.

Code: Select all

convert horses.jpg -gaussian-blur 0x4 gaussian.png
composite gaussian.png horses.jpg -compose Pegtop-light -matte pegtop.png
composite gaussian.png horses.jpg -compose soft-light -matte soft.png
