Wither Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Glow in PdN makes the entire layer brighter and 'glowy'. I think the Halo plugin does something like the Ps outer glow. Quote YouTube | Myspace | deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umg Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 I couldnt find this plugin... IMHO, it would be neeat to see mroe of these kind of special effects tools.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncfan51 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Wither, I find Outline Object at 255 softness as good as, or even better than, Halo. I'm not familiar with PS's outer glow, but If it is what I think it is, wouldn't Outline Object/Halo on a seperate layer (possibly with some curves adjustments) make an effect that is similar? I really want to see an Inner Glow in Paint.NET though. That would make 99% of Photoshop planet tuts easier in Paint.NETtopic> Halo: http://boltbait.googlepages.com/halo Outline Object: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=5715 Quote +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ I am a disco dancer. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wither Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I didn't even think of Outline Object. :shock: Good point. Couldn't inner glow be simulated with a radial gradient of your preferred color and transparent? Quote YouTube | Myspace | deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umg Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 The Halo doesn't have any options and wehn i aplpied it to a line that was 30 pixel thick, it was so thin, it was barely visible. What I want is an efffect to create the kind of quality glow in all those fan made ligthsaber vids like Ryan v dorkman... Maybe some sort of soft blending..

Myrddin Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 You could always try the Outline plugin already mentioned or the Drop Shadow plugin which has options for colour, position and blur radius - blurring will come in handy for the glow you are after. Be sure to apply the effect on a duplicated layer of the image; this will also be helpful if you wish to add further effects to the layer, maybe even lower the layer opacity for a more softer look. Have an experiment and see which method, or combination of methods, works best. You must bear in mind, though, that a tool and an effect differ greatly because of their application, therefore the Ps glow tool will work differently to the glowing-methods employed by Paint.NET users.
