Neon Glow

 
 
 

The Neon Glow effect adds various types of glow to the objects in an image. This effect can be used to create neon lighting effects, or to give an object the appearance that it is radiating light or heat. This is an effect that is particularly useful for images consisting of text or simple, high-contrast graphics.

Name

Specifies the operator's name.

Opacity

Sets the opacity of the effect over the input image. A value of 0 makes the effect completely transparent, while a value of 100 makes it completely opaque.

Use Alpha As Mask

Uses the input image's alpha channel as a mask for applying the effect. The effect is fully applied to areas of the image where the alpha channel is white, and not at all to areas where it is black.

Run Effect On

Enable the RGB and/or Alpha options to specify whether the effect is applied to the RGB channels, the Alpha channel, or both.

Glow Size

This slider can be set over a wide range of positive or negative values. Positive Glow Size settings create glows on the outside of dark objects and on the inside of light objects, while negative settings create glows on the inside of dark objects and the outside of light objects. The greater the setting (positive or negative), the larger the glow.

Glow Brightness

Set higher values to increase the brightness of the glow, or set lower values to decrease the brightness.

Background Color

Sets the color for background regions of the effect. Set a color using the sliders.

Foreground Color

Sets the color for foreground regions of the effect. Set a color using the sliders.
