'' This sample demonstrates how to create a Soft Edges effect using DsImaging.'' The Soft Edges effect deflates all non-transparent areas of an image by a specified amount,'' then applies a Gaussian blur to make the border smooth. It is one of the effects'' that are found in MS Word for example.'' '' To achieve this effect in DsImaging, the GrayscaleBitmap.ApplyGlow() method is used'' on the transparency mask built from the color image on which we want the soft edges to appear,'' along with a few other simple steps as illustrated by this code.'''' This example shows how to achieve the soft edges effect without drawing the content'' (text and image) twice. See SoftEdges for an alternative way to achieve the same effect.'''' The same GrayscaleBitmap.ApplyGlow() method is also used to achieve the Glow effect'' as illustrated by the Glow and GlowAlt examples.Public Class SoftEdgesAlt    Private _font As GCTEXT.Font = GCTEXT.Font.FromFile(Path.Combine("Resources", "Fonts", "FreeSans.ttf"))
