achieving a overdriven almost blown out view turn into a bright yellow-white glow,
#1
good day dear friends good day dear gimply ppl. 

[first of all - i ve posted this three days ago here - and was happy to receive some nices & kind and very supportive answers - but in the mean time a serious db-crash knocked out the whole page - and  guess that 90 % of the postings of the past seven days vanished - into the dark] 

well i am currently workin on a graphic image - and i would love to get your creative suggestions! ?

after lurking here some hours - i t hought that the best would be to step up the plate and just ask: while lurking i have seen lots of great approaches to do much in GIMP: I really appreciate all the awesome threads  that i ve seen here: i think that i have to work with some kind of a layer-based approach 

see my starting point: 

I’ve experimented allready with that, and it already helped me get closer to the look I’m aiming for.

To give you a bit more context: I’m trying to reate a certain abstract network visualization style –: What I especially love is to get some behavior - at the right side  that gets some feels of - lets say “overdriven” – almost blown out into a bright yellow-white glow,   while the lines still keep a warm reddish tone. The colors are intense, but the structure stays readable.
So my question to the community: What would be your approach to achieve a kind of “overexposed” yellow-to-white transition on the right side, while keeping the lines slightly red and the overall network structure intact?


I’m open to non-destructive workflows, layer blending tricks, or even selective color grading.

love to hear from you
 
see the starting point.
