A glow filter that uses the zoom blur to distribute the resulting glow, instead of a
gaussian blur. The effect is that of light rays shining through an object from a specified
point.
Parameters in the Inspector
Amount: Sets the amount of the light ray effect. Values range from 0 to 200.
Center: Sets the position of the center point of the light source.
Glow: Sets the brightness multiplier of the light rays. Values range from 0 to 8.
Expansion: Sets the length of the light rays. Values range from 0 to 2.
Dashboard controls

Outer Glow
Adds a glow to the alpha channel of an object. The result is a glow around the outside
of an object, while the object’s actual image is unaffected.
Parameters in the Inspector:
Radius: Sets the size of the glow. Values range from 0 to 15.
Brightness: Sets the brightness of the glow. Values range from 0 to 100.
Inner Color: Picks the inner color of the glow. Use the disclosure triangle to display
Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha sliders for more precise color selection.
Outer Color: Picks the outer color of the glow.
Range: Sets the gradient position between the two glow colors. Values range from 0 to
1.0.
