    крутяк, спасибо! Один совет: при демонстрации включайте и выключайте нод на чуть более продолжительное время, я не успевал рассмотреть и оценить изменений

    As much as I like your videos, this is one is a bit messy in terms of usage and explanation: It doesn't push back the background, it darkens everything you did not let glow with your chosen threshold. This comes from your chosen composite type "Softlight". The first drop down lets you see the "glow alone". With that activated you can decide via threshold what should glow and what not. With composite type "Screen" you will only get the glowing areas and leave your dark areas alone. To get all the other effects you are showing you can simply use curves and/or simple contrast set to "Softlight" or "Overlay" as composite type. This has also the positive side effect, that your image does not get as soft as with glow in the dark areas. Imho you should only use the glow effect where you actually want to have glow (mist) just as the mechanical filter would work in front of your lens. Then your dark areas are left alone and you won't "loose a bit of her face" ect.
