RaveN Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I was wondering.... Is there a way that with the glow plugin, I can get a different COLOR glow? Like maybe an updated version if it isnt too much trouble could be coded to have you select a glow color, I know you can Do the neon stuff which is basically what it is.... But I was wondering, like say I wanted this... I made that, but with a website that let you make a little banner like that with the star, and it added the stuff.. it is from GR sites. Say I wanted to make a black background, with yellow text and a red glow....How would one go about that? Screenshots would help and a good explanation.

trickman Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 To get a outer glow of other color, just: Select what you wanna glow (in a new layer), Duplicate the layer with the selection, On the original layer, paint the selection with (thecoloryouwanna) Gaussian blur the original, Tcha-daa!

RaveN Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 Gah, I tried that and I messed it up major time, could I get some screens if that isn't too much work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickman Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 OK, what do you want? glow itself or outer glow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaveN Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 The glow on the outside of the text... so I guess an outer glow.....But I figured out I could just make a thick line and Gaussian blur it about 25-50 pixels and put the text on top of that, if that is what you were saying in the first post...

trickman Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 1. Write the text in a new layer. 2. Duplicate. 3. Paint the original text with the color you want to be the glow. 4. Gaussian blur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
