Thank you so much for putting this up. This is the Orton effect and I have been trying to figure this out this week in Gimp. I’ll try this effect for before and after next week!
The blur looks different than Bokeh, it’s so cool!

I’ve tried this before with varying degrees of success. 🙂

I see you are using the eraser, though. I have a tutorial on my blog this week on how to use layer masks in photoshop elements (yes, you can!) which would be perfect for your process because if you make a mistake, you can just paint the effect back in in the spot you need instead of hitting undo a bunch of times (and loosing all the steps after the “undo”.)

Check it out, and happy photoshopping!
