Daz is playing up on me. One character Chanel is now crashing DAZ but all the rest seem to work. Daz leaves files in lots of places so uninstalling is a nightmare. After three attempts over two days I got a mostly clean install but Chanel figure still is crashing my system. Frustrating.

Anyway did this render to test the new install. Ahmunet 8 and Ellie hair. Painted background with one Affinity lighting asset and some painting on the hair as well as a gaussian blur on a selection of the hair. One thing I sometimes do is to add a black fill layer which I reduce the opacity on and then change the layer type. Here I done it twice; once near the bottom of the tree just affected the background using about 50% opacity and soft light and once right near the top using again 50% opacity but using average. It softens the highlights and pulls everything together but it does darken the image.

Hope you like it and thanks for looking. Edit. Pretty subtle change but I felt Silver Efexs had darkened the eyes too much. So added a mask layer affecting just the eyes.
