Thanks. Will experiment.

In Photoshop:

Duplicate layer as bloom. Use treshold or levels to clip
non-overexposed parts to black. Set layer mode to screen.
Gaussian blur. Adjust layer opacity and/or levels.

A variation of this can be used to get nice colored halos
to white or colored overexposed areas. Make a copy of bloom
layer and colorize it to dark saturated color, blur more.
Another copy is colorized lighter and different hue and less
saturated, blur less.

If PSP has macros this can be automated.

 Thanks Jan, that works a treat.

Use the "glow" post process filter in MegaPOV?

what he probably meant is, that there is
also a glow-postprocess option in Megapov

please check the docs ...

Ah yes, so there is.. my mistake. It's been a long time since I used
MegaPOV, and I had forgotten about it.

A super simple solution:

Duplicate the original layer.  Set the duplicated layer's mode to Dodge and
adjust it's opacity to fit.

Bit more involved:

Duplicate the original layer.  In PSP 7, go to Effects > Edge > Dilate.
Then Effects > Blur > Gaussian Blur of about 7.  Then set the duplicated
layer's mode to Screen or Dodge and adjust the opacity to fit.

As far as I know, you need Image Robot to do batch image processing work in
PSP.  You might want to try and use IrfanView (www.irfanview.com).  It has
batch processing, but only rudimentary image processing functions, such as
Brightness, Gamma, Contrast, etc.

Alan.

Ok, thanks all for suggestions. I used Alan's recent suggestion as I read
his post shortly before attempting the image manipulation, and I got
beautiful results by modifying the curve of the duplicated layer to clip
away all dark areas (thanks Kari), and then performing the layer adjustments
as per Alan's suggestion.

Unfortunately I cannot automate this process, as Image Robot (which I have)
cannot work with layers :-(.

I shall be posting an animation very shortly which will demonstrate this
glow effect perfectly... watch this space.

All the best,

Andy Cocker
