Edge Glow:
In the Edge Glow section, the Radius slider controls the size of the white glow that appears
around the edges of large objects, and the Strength slider controls how strong that white
glow is. The farther you drag the Strength slider to the right, the more obnoxious, er...I
mean pronounced, that white glow becomes. It's a delicate balancing act using these two
sliders to get a look that doesn't have really distracting white glows. I've also found that,
forthemostpart,settingtheRadiusatahighernumber(like150orhigher)andtheStrength
at a lower number (around 0.50 or less) gives the best results. The Edge Softening check-
box takes the harshness out of the effect, and I use it often.
