2. The purpose of this step is to make the particles on the character's skin stand out. method:
(1) Copy the background copy to 2 layers (2) Perform surface blur on the background copy, the values are: radius 3, threshold 15
(3) Execute on background copy 2: high contrast is retained, the value is about 1. The standard for adjusting the value is to make the particles on the skin vaguely visible, and the layer blending mode is: Linear Light, as shown in the picture.
