Re: lens flare
This is a bit extreme (!) but it's what you are after, I assume?

Re: lens flare
Hi Chris Create a new layer and fill with black, then apply the lens flare. Change the blending to Screen and the black on the layer will be invisible. By doing this, you can then move the flare layer around to achieve precise positioning. If the planet is on its own layer, you then have the choice whether you place the flare in front or behind and see which effect you prefer. Incidentally, how did you get on with colouring the poster text? Nick |

Re: lens flare
I've said ot before and I'll say it again - I LOVE THE FORUM! Thanks, Anna, for the brushes, and thanks Nick for the lens flare technique. I now know where I was going wrong. Also, Nick, the colour matching poster text works a treat. Will post some more work soon for your feedback. Have a good Bank Holiday. Chris |

Re: lens flare
Very simple and quite striking. With lens flare I'd try to stick to one of the others. The type you've used has been used so much in the past the effect itself is almost untochable. The 105mm prime is a much better option. It's still a great work  |
