[08:40] Not sure. Couldnt find it on their site. It was on third party wallpaper sites [08:40] ooh wait [08:40] I'm assuming that it is though. [08:41] hit "B" - that'll get you the Path tool [08:42] Paths are cool, they're an easily controlled way to do all sorts of things [08:43] click on a series of points, and the Path tool will connect them. Close the shape & hit Enter, and you've got a selection - like the lasso, but way easier to control [08:43] select the eyes? [08:44] yup, select the inside edge of the eyes - the inside of the socket, basically [08:44] where the strong blue ends [08:45] hit Enter to make a selection, then B again to clear the path nodes - you don't need them again [08:45] Now go Select menu->Grow, set that to 5 pixels, hit OK [08:46] woah [08:46] then Select->Feather, set to 5px, hit OK [08:46] that'll give our orange glow a soft edge, when we're done. [08:47] next, create a new layer - Layer menu->New Layer [08:47] make sure you're on the new layer - layer dialogue is on the righthand side of the screen [08:48] oh transparency new layer fill type?
