Well this is my first tutorial. I looked for the glow creating tut, but I couldn't find one, so I made my own. This is what I came out with: First take whatever render you want. I used the cloak in my sig that I cut out with paths. Make a new layer other then your render. Ok now we need to make sure you have the path around it a selection. Invert the selection by going to select--->invert. Then fill the background with white. Go back to the selection around the render and do a gaussian blur on the selection. You will have to mess around with the blur amount for the different sizes. Do a select---> feather on it. Once agian mess with the settings until right.Now invert the selection again and delete the background. Then open up a background and paste your new image into it. It should have a sort of glow. I hope it works, if you have a problem please tell me about it I may have forgotten a step.

You can also create a new transparent layer under your render. Go to your render layer and do Layer>transparency>alpha to selection. Go back to the layer you want your glow on. Grow the selection by a few pixels (or more if you want a really big glow). Bucket fill it with white. Select none, then blur. You could also kind of "wrap" the glow around your layer by duping the glow layer, then putting it above the render, then use the alpha to selection trick on the render again, only this time shrink and feather it (a handy way to judge how much is to use quickmask with blur...when you turn off quickmask, you get a feathered selection), then cut the above glow layer with the feathered selection.

Think if you got the layer effects script,inner and outer glow is available.

eh, i use alpha to selection, new layer, stroke selection, gaussian blur, hide the new layer beneath the render.

well err yes sadaf, thankyou for your tutorial, very nice :w:
Seems everyone else has their own ways, but i'll use yours :)

Thank you kelxz I appreciate it.

Hmmm... mine is a little simpler. You go alpha to selection, make a new layer, fill it with white, deselect, gaussian blur maybe 30, if you want a little glow on the inside, repeat only invert selection before filling with white and use less gaussian blur.
