soft light on a soft face
And now to simulate a "soft light" effect. Open your image in RGB mode.
Duplicate the background layer. Click once on the original layer and Filter > Gaussian Blur > Radius of 10-20.
Click on the duplicate layer and change the blending mode of that layer to Soft Light.
There you have it. This procedure seems to work well with lighter backgrounds, as in this portrait. The face is highlighted and stands out well.
