Then right click on that rasterized layer and select blending options, and then add a glow effect, the color of the glow is black too. then create the alpha map for that circle and then save as TGA last: import to GS you wont get the same effect you would in photoshop.

Do you set it to multiply with the layer beneath? Screen? etc. It's important that it is set to 'normal', at least when it comes to the last layer above the transparent background, Cheers PHeMoX, Innervision Software (c) 1995-2008 For more info visit: Innervision Software

Its a limitation of alpha mapping.. since the layer beneath will go white the alpha ma will mix the black pixels with the white pixels getting a greyish colour and not black pixels mixed with transparent pixels.

The bright flag may work.. but that will bright everything on the image
