This automated action can help you give the entire image a soft,
glowing effect. Adjusting the appropriate values will prevent your image from overexposing and give you a soft, textured glow effect.
Trying to retain as much detail as possible while brightening the image
Tip:
During the adjustment of the color levels/brightness and contrast, if you want the light to be brighter, make the image brighter, and if you want a subtle, soft glow, make the image darker.
For the Gaussian blur value selection, if you want the light to be softer, increase the Gaussian blur value slightly; if you want the shape of the light to be more defined, decrease the Gaussian blur value slightly.
