Deep Glow gives you the best looking glow right out of the box, even whilst working in a non-linear color space. It features intuitive compositing controls to assist in refining your glow results. Deep Glow is also GPU accelerated for speed and features handy downsampling and quality controls which can also be leveraged to achieve unique results (grainy or stylised glows).

Requirements
Please note: GPU is required for rendering. Deep Glow runs most operations on the GPU and as such, it is not compatible with CPU only render nodes

Pairs beautifully with other optical effects such as bokeh.
Modulation also pairs wonderfully with Deep Glow.
