Diffuse glow image effect

[toaster]

Hi guys,

I'm looking to emulate a glow effect described here http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/glow/index.php. It describes adding gain and blur to an image then adding it to the original image to get an image glow effect. Which methods in GdPicture would best emulate this effect? Is brightness the same as gain? Would gaussian blur suffice for the blur described? As for adding the same image on top of the original would GdPictureImaging.DrawGdPictureImageOP Method work?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Michael.

Hi,
I checked your link, and I think you have misunderstood somethings, here is what I was able to comprehend:
1. There is Glow amount, which i think would be similar to increasing Saturation, you can do that here:

2. The soften if it is blur like it says in the link, you can achieve with one of the following:

3. Then you can finally combine the two images, but i do not know which kind of combine operation mode you would use, here is the link:

Hope this helps,
