How do I make a neon glowing effect?

Im making a space shooter and i want to create a glowing effect in the outline of the main objects (enemy ships, bullets, some particles) something like neon lights, how can i do that?

Thanks for the help.

You could use the outline webGL effect. You'll have to get it from this topic https://www.scirra.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=75574&start=0 and put it in your installation folder.

See attached capx for an example...[attachment=0:mftw0qcx][/attachment:mftw0qcx]

Now, if the effect you after is a blurred additive glow, you'll have to use a different sprite on top of the spaceships and set its blend mode to additive.

See the following capx...

You can use glow mask on photoshop.

2 mask's on in 100 opacity and the other 80 opacity.

I think i got it guys, you gave me an idea, since i can´t use photoshop i decided to use Gimp (which is similar) and i found a neon effect so i made a neon version of the sprite (the outline) and placed the normal sprite on top of it. Now i just need to adjust some values.

Thanks a lot for the help!

To be honest I didn't understand that you wanted to make a glow in an external sofware. I thought that you wanted to make it dynamically within Construct. So, yes, any photo-paint software that respects it self should suffice for the effect you are after!

I wasn´t really sure about what method would be better, but those examples gave me the idea of what should i do.
