Creates a soft glow effects around the outside of your layer, with full control over the size and color of the glow effect. The glow is a gradient that transitions from its most opaque at the edge of the layer, to complete transparency farther outside the layer, at the distance set by the width control.

  • Color: Select the color you want to apply to the glow.
    • Values: You can enter new RGB values for a specific color.
    • Pipette: Use the pipette to select a color from within your frame. Click on the pipette, hold the mouse button down, and drag to the color you wish to select. Release the mouse button to select the color.
    • Color Swatch: Click the color swatch to open a color picker and choose any color you wish.
  • Opacity: Defines the amount of the glow, from completely transparent at 0.00 to fully opaque at 1.00.
  • Size: Adjusts the width of the glow, in pixels.
  • Spread: Shifts the mid-point of the gradient, to make it more solid or more subtle. Increasing the value shifts the mid point farther outside of the layer, giving the glow more body.
  • Offset: By default the glow is centered on the layer. Use offset to shift it on the X (horizontal) or Y (vertical) axis.
