Star Filter
Star Filter creates brilliant, star-like points in areas of an image where light is
noticeably bright. This effect adds a dramatic and brilliant accent to ordinary-
looking images.
To create Star Filter effects:
1. With an image open, select Photo:
Lens Filters - Star Filters.
2. Specify the Filter Setting by entering
the number of Spikes, and values for
Variance. Determine the effect's
generated density by setting the
Luminosity Threshold.
3. Choose between using a Standard
Filter or PL (polarized light) Filter. PL
filters simulate the use of two lenses
while Standard uses one. Specify a
value in Rotate (if you chose PL) to
simulate the rotation of the lenses
against each other.
4. Set the star points' spikes by adjusting
the Spikes setting. Depending on your
filter setting, you can adjust the points'
Brightness, Length, Width, and
Spread Angle.
5. Click OK.
