A log-ish glow.
Besides luminous glowing objects, and background to foreground glow, it is also good for glowing masks inward and hiding edges.
"Glow Spread Direction" adjusts the glow from inward to outward, and sets the glow mode:
-1 = Glow inward
Can be useful for softening masks inward.
(Also adjust: "Glow Size", "Glow Min", "Falloff Curve" and check "Only Glow Alpha")
0 = Glow in both directions
Can be used for giving comp elements a natural softening, and blending FG/BG.
(Also adjust: "Glow Size", "Glow Min", "Falloff Curve")
1 = Glow outward
Good for luminous glow.
(Also adjust: "Glow Size", "Glow Min", "Gain", "Colour Split", and everything else ;) )
