Understanding glow effect

Glow spreads brightness from lighter parts of an image into nearby pixels.

Watch highlights for loss of detail when the glow intensity increases.

A practical workflow

  1. Choose the required source files, if any. Files are handled as stated in the workspace privacy label.
  2. Set the available controls and apply the operation.
  3. Compare the actual output, check its dimensions and download the generated file.

Decisions and limitations

  • Strength (%)
  • Radius or pattern size (pixels)

16 megapixels maximum. Artistic treatments are algorithmic approximations with adjustable settings. Exported PNGs are flattened. For two-image operations, the second image must match the first image dimensions.
