The filter is derived from the Alien Glow script (FileCreateLogosAlien Glow in the image window), which creates the following text effect:

The Alien Glow Script-Fu script.

Reproducing this glow is easy:

  • If necessary, create a selection from the alpha channel of the active layer.

  • Fill the selection with the following Gradient Blend: Shape = Shaped (spherical); Gradient = FG to BG (RGB), with FG = dark gray (79,79,79), BG = black.

  • Create a new layer (Alien Glow) below. Extend the selection slightly, feather it, and fill it with the Glow color.

  • Create a new background layer filled with black.
