2. On Glow Base: apply Exposure (increase) or Levels to isolate bright areas.
3. Apply successive blurs: Fast Box Blur (high radius) → duplicate with smaller radius for multi‑scale bloom.
4. Set blend modes: top glows to Screen or Add (Linear Dodge) and adjust opacity.
5. Use Curves or Hue/Saturation on glow layers to keep color and prevent oversaturation.
6. Add a subtle Noise (0.5–1%) and slight blur on final comp to hide banding.
