Create a flare
The Flare tool creates flare objects with a bright center, a halo, and rays and rings. Use this tool to create an effect
similar to a lens flare in a photograph.
Flares include a center handle and an end handle. Use the handles to position the flare and its rings. The center handle
is in the bright center of the flare—the flare path begins from this point.
