- duplicate your main image layer
- apply a Gaussian blur
- the use either a 'lighten' or 'darken' blend mode to the layer
- This will typically be way to harsh an effect so adjust opacity to taste.

The effect should be suttle I may have applied a little too much in this photo - notice the soft focus on the highlights of Aly's hair and the flowers in the background. (tough to see on the thumbnail above, click to see a higher rez version where the effect is more apparent) I like it, I've learned it, I'll promise not to abuse it!
