Having Trouble with Lens Flares


Theon|804

Recommended Posts

Yes, I used the search feature first. Didn't find anything.

I need help rendering lens flares. Yes, I have the Lens Flares plugin and the latest version of Paint.NET. I was working on a project following Expired's Helio Sig tutorial, thinking, "Man, this would look great with lens flares on it." But I tried and tried, and couldn't get them to render. At all.

This is the pic I wanted them on.

Bottom layer dark color,

Add new layer, run the Lens flare on the new layer.

See what happens.

You should be able to add it to your image now.

Edit: And for those of you who think this plugin is useless.

1. I'm sure MadJik will improve it once he has more time.

2. You are wrong.

Hey! I got it to work. =D Although, I had to make the lens flares on a seperate image and transfer them over to the sig.

I like lens flares, though I think they look better in photoshop (i've seen tutorials that utilize them). I used lens flare in my sig/wallpaper :P

Both my old and new sig have lens flares. It's always been there.

Check my gallery (The Ash under my sig) to see my old sig.
