IMHO not the correct tool, and even then not the way to use it, although every image has its own requirements. One way to try. Duplicate the layer Put the top layer into screen mode, that reinforces the colours. Now add a black layer mask and paint in white with a fuzzy brush over the beam of light. That isolates that area. If you need more brightness. Click in the image icon (right side image - left side layer mask) and adjust the layer brightness Colors -> Brightness - Contrast example attached rich: www.gimp-forum.net Attachments: * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/423/original/layermode.jpg * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/424/original/Tumblr_nl6ptxZzyK1qff6qbo1_540.xcf -- rich2005 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
