HI all,

I've got this TGA bitmap of a symbol with an alpha channel incl. What I want now
is to have a glow around it. When I assign a glow it bassily covers the whole symbol with
the glow. This is not what i'm looking for.

Do i need to mask it or load the alpha channel.. can't get it to work :-(

Well you can either try to use a channel selection set to Alpha bit expanded and inverted, then the glow and a remove selection or to duplicate the layer it self blur it, scale it up and use some transfer mode.

In fact I can think of on many ways of doing it, but they will depend on which type of glow you're trying to achieve.

Cheers,
