The other set of tools there are also awesome :) I really liked the red-hot thing... http://ajaygautam.com/hot-star.png Thanks Ajay > > > -Original Message- > From: gimp-user-boun...@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu > [mailto:gimp-user-boun...@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Ajay Gautam > Sent: Thursday, January 01, 2009 2:18 PM > To: gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu > Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] How to add glow > > > (posting the same email to group) > >> On Thu, Jan 1, 2009 at 12:27 PM, Jozef Legény >> wrote: >>> >>> you can add glow somewhat like this : >>> 1. select the shape you want the glow on (have the shape on a >>> separate layer with transparent background) 2. go to select->grow >>> selection and choose the radius of your glow (let's say >>> 5) >>> 3. go select->feather selection and choose the "blurriness" level >>> (again, 5 for example) 4. create a new transparent layer, fill the >>> selection with the color you want and move it under the layer with >>> the shape >>> >> >> Here is what I made by following your steps: >> http://ajaygautam.com/star-glow.png >> >> Its not bad, but not as good as >> http://bp0.blogger.com/_alkHInneMyQ/R9qLB1aRY_I/AxA/M5AJ5scgH8 >> M/s320/Om.jpg >> >> It seems we would need to add a white-ish layer somewhere in >> between... > > Ok, so I took my advice, and inserted a white later between the star and the > purple layer.

Ok, so I took my advice, and inserted a white later between the star and the purple layer. Here is what I have: http://ajaygautam.com/star-glow-white.png Question: How do I merge / gradient / diffuse the white and purple layers into one?

Re: [Gimp-user] How to add glow
you can add glow somewhat like this : 1. select the shape you want the glow on (have the shape on a separate layer with transparent background) 2. go to select->grow selection and choose the radius of your glow (let's say 5) 3. go select->feather selection and choose the "blurriness" level (again, 5 for example) 4. create a new transparent layer, fill the selection with the color you want and move it under the layer with the shape cheers ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] How to add glow
Hello. I came across this picture: http://bp0.blogger.com/_alkHInneMyQ/R9qLB1aRY_I/AxA/M5AJ5scgH8M/s320/Om.jpg and it got me wondering how would one go about adding the glow effect to stuff using gimp. Pointers in he right direction would be very helpful.
