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.
