I have done it and for sure it can be done using Photoshop. I am not sure if you can make it with Corel /Paint/ .


Basically you do this:
Workflow Technique #051 @Digital Outback Photo

Said in other words you make the image BW. Use a mask. Blur it. Then clean the blur where necessary using the mask. And invert it/ the BW/ if necessary to achieve what you want high or low.


There is 30day free trial, so you can play with it.
