Merge the 2 light layers. You want to keep the background layer, so un-check it so it’s not visible.
‘Filter’ ‘Convert to Smart Filters’ This will let you add some gaussian blur, but then go back later and change the amount of the blur.
With the smart filter layer active, set blending mode to ‘Multiply’. Multiply has the effect of darkening the image considerably, which is why we had to do the lightening up front.
