 **Assembly:** Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)

## Remarks
  
You can also use [Glow](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms_Glow.htm.md) class to apply this effect.
 
**Note** 
If the bitmap does not have an alpha channel (e.g. its pixel format is [Format24bppRgb](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_PixelFormat.htm.md)), alpha channel is automatically added. So be aware that pixel format of the output bitmap may differ from the input one.
 
## Examples
  
```
bitmap.Transforms.Glow(Aurigma.GraphicsMill.RgbColor.Red)
```
 
```csharp
bitmap.Transforms.Glow(Aurigma.GraphicsMill.RgbColor.Red);
