16.3.3. Opcions

Figura 17.377. Opcions de “Lluentor estil Àlien”

Mida de la lluentor (píxels * 4): This is actually the font size option of the “Alien Glow” Script-Fu script. However, two values will be set in relation to this size: the glow will be enlarged by “Glow size” / 30, and feather radius is “Glow size” / 4. You should probably choose the height of your objects for this option (ignore “pixels * 4”).
Color de la lluentor: This is the color of the “eerie” glowing. Of course it defaults to green (63,252,0), but a click on the swatch button brings up the color selector where you can choose any color.

16.3.4. Detalls de filtre

Reproducing an eerie alien glow is easy:

If necessary, create a selection from the alpha channel of the active layer.
Fill the selection with the following Gradient Blend: Shape = Shaped (spherical); Gradient = FG to BG (RGB), with FG = dark gray (79,79,79), BG = black.
Create a new layer (“Alien Glow”) below. Extend the selection slightly, feather it, and fill it with the Glow color.
