Description

This filter generates lens flares.Thanks Voldemort for the radial gradient snipet.I have no space here to explain all of the controls, but I hope they are more or less straightforward. Let's just see the basic elements and the more obscure controls:Flare 1: Primary flare. Flare 1-2 count * 10: Defines the number of arms they have. Use a number divisible by 10 to have proper star shape.Flare 2: Secondary flare, similar to Flare 1.Flare 3: Random streaks.Flare 3 color: You can use it to control the opacity of the streaks.Flare 3 type 2?: A different look for the streaks.Central glow: A radial gradient in the middle.Ring: A ring in the middle. It inherits the color of Flare 1-2.
