Glow Filters
Glow filters combine blur with brightness and color effects. The results are
automatically recomposited over the original image in many different ways. Glows can
be used to simulate film effects, as a method to make your footage more abstract, or
used more subtly, as accents to make individual elements in a composition stand out.
