Get Halation

Halation is a script plugin for Photoshop that creates a soft glow around bright highlights. Just like real halation on analog film, the effect is limited to areas with high contrast between bright highlights and darker tones. The script is highly customizable and comes with a variety of action presets for color and monochrome looks.
