Re: Diffue Glow Filter on a Separate Layer?

Why not sinply duplicate the background layer and apply the filter to that?
I guess that's not what you are asking? Are you wanting to have a separate
layer with just the diffuse glow showing minus the original image? If so,
then I'm not sure if that's possible?

Hey all. Not sure if this is possible... I'm on Photoshop CS5 64-bit.

I have a flat image that I want to apply a diffuse glow to. However, I
would like to have the original image on one layer and the output of
the filter on a separate layer, as opposed to all on the same layer.

I realize this may not be completely possible so here's an alternate
that could work but I'm not sure how to do. Could I take the original
image and "subtract" it from the new image with the diffuse glow?

The ultimate goal is to be able to display the original image on a
bottom layer and then applying the diffuse glow on a top layer without
redrawing the entire image.

Thanks for the help!
