QImage glow effect

[MarkoSan]

Hi to all!

Can someone please give me some hints how to achieve, that QImage's borders will have glow effect?

Depends on what kind of glow u want...
simplest thing wud be, choose a color of urs, find a glowing match for that color, and paint the border with that color.

You can search some algorithms too for glow effect. This might help you.

Well, I am sorry but I do not read MSDN because it is baaaadllly written, however I've gave a look but I does not help me. I meant to do glow effect using plain qt. The first idea you gave will be good for now. Now, how to paint border of QImage?

Use the "Painter's Algorithm" - paint the glow first and then overpaint the image.
