How to fine-tune the lighting effects tool

Apply the 'Filters / Edge-Detect / Edge / Roberts' filter to this new layer. Set the layer mode to 'Soft Light' and the layer opacity to 75% (or 100%).
When you say "around the background" do you mean around the three places where it's visible behind the heads? Or should I make the whole area above the yellow band smaller for the time being, so I can mark a path around the couple? What should I expect to see in the new layer?
Thanks!

Do you have just the back ground? I'll see what I can do and let you know then. If not there might be something in GMIC.

Here it is with just the background.
   

Here it is with the couple layer in reduced opacity, if that will help. My main difficulty is getting the glow on the background layer, at the right position behind the heads.
   

I'm interested to see what you have in mind. Smile I'll need the steps to reproduce it, of course. I am still very Junior.
