Default Glowing?

Hi everyone

i've got a display on a hand-held device and i want to give it a realistic glow (not just luminosity - lighting effect), any idea how - i did it before by accident but can't seem to find it again!!

Also how do i apply a picture to the screen without it getting all stretched?

Cheers

for ur first question, first go into surface editor->then select which surface u want glowing->click on advanced tab and change the glow intensity to 100%->close surface editor and click on Scene tab->click on image processing under the effects menu->check enable glow in the image processing window and then render away.

f u wanna change any settings of the glow, just change the options in the image processing window beside glow.

Question 2

well, the picture will stretch if its smaller than size of screen or camera resolution. u could change the camera resolution settings in the camera properties and see if ur picture fits in as the background without any stretching...

I hope that answered both ur questions...
