So let’s get started. For this example we will start our work in the presets panel and then make some manual adjustments to
customize the eect for our image.
1. Go to the preset panel and select the Sun Flare I preset. When you select a preset the light sources in your image will auto-
matically be detected and the are eects will be added to those points. Keep in mind that you’ll be able to add/remove and
change these points using the selection brush, so don’t worry if the initial eect isn’t exactly what you want. Using the sliders in
the tool tabs, we will also be able to control the characteristics of the are eect.
