[Gimp-user] How to add glow

[Jozef Legény]

you can add glow somewhat like this :
1. select the shape you want the glow on (have the shape on a separate layer 
with transparent background)
2. go to select->grow selection and choose the radius of your glow (let's say 
5)
3. go select->feather selection and choose the "blurriness" level (again, 5 
for example)
4. create a new transparent layer, fill the selection with the color you want 
and move it under the layer with the shape
