### 16.3. Alien Glow

#### 16.3.1. Overview

Figure 17.376. Example for the « Alien Glow » filter

The « Alien Glow » filter

The « Alien Glow » logo

This filter adds an eerie glow around the active layer's alpha.

The filter is derived from the « Alien Glow » script (File → Create → Logos → Alien Glow in the image window), which creates a logo with the above text effect.

| Avertissement
The image will always be resized to the active layer's size.

#### 16.3.2. Activate the filter

You can find this filter in the image window menu under Filters → Alpha to Logo → Alien Glow.

#### 16.3.3. Options

Figure 17.377. « Alien Glow » options

Glow size (pixels * 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 »).

Glow color

  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. Filter details

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.

- Create a new background layer filled with black.
