Peter... another one of those "Hmmmmm's"....
You are right... it is Composite - Soft Light or Hard Light... not High Light.
Sometimes it funny how the senior mind operates... thinking one thing and typing another.

An advantage of PWP for learning photography
I am a novice learning how to take and process digital photos, aiming for image quality (grounded in realism, which is not literal naturalism.)
A big reason I chose PWP is that a user gets a good idea (with study of the scattered documentation!) of how a step in the workflow changes the image data and the image quality.
PS of course lets you see the change in the image quality. But I inferred that there is more mystery about how PS actions change the image data. Geez, people sell hidden PS actions offering a certain effect! PS seems to document some actions by telling you the effect on the image, but with no concept of how the image data is manipulated. That's no way to learn what is going on in the processes of photography.
