Eye Candy 5: Impact - Gradient Glow Filter Examples

Gradient Glow can create a variety of glowing, halo, and neon lighting effects. The glass filter was used on the "Boo!" text example, but aside from that only gradient glow was used on these examples.

Gradient Glow

Gradient Glow creates an endless variety of glows and halo effects around the outer edges of a selection or object. The gradient editor is capable of countless color stops as well as varying levels of opacity throughout the gradient. Gradients can be modified and created by altering the color, spacing, and opacity of each of the stop points along the gradient preview. The glow effect can be further manipulated by adjusting the glow type (inside, outside, or both), glow radius, corner softness, opacity, distortion, and lumpiness. The gradient glow effect can be rendered to a new layer.
