Yes, it is. It's quite simple (after it was explained to me by somebody here... ABX
IIRC). In
Photoshop or equivalent, duplicate the background layer, then adjust the contrast
(using
Curves) to give white in the areas you wish to 'bloom', and black in all the others.
Then use
a gaussian blur on the new layer (I used a value of 8) and finally, set the layer type
to
'Screen'.

All the best,

Andy Cocker
