More KPT 6 this week - the last 3 filters that we'll cover in this set of filters. They are LensFlare, Sky Effects, and Scene Builder
Lens flare allows you to add in effects that simulate lens flare from a camera, etc. Interesting... this time I'll be adding it in, rather than trying to edit it out like I've done in some badly shot photos.

| I created this scene using Glitterato, SolarCell, and LunarCell. Nice, but it could be better. Notice how the planet dominates this graphic. | I've used LensFlare to spice things up and to make the sun the focal point of this image. |

| This is a nice photo of a wing walker. | LensFlare adds drama to the photo and simulates a pseudo target that the plane is aiming for. |
This used to be a stand alone filter called Rayflect Four Seasons. Metacreations bought it and it's now part of KPT 6. Naturally the interface is different on this one, but it's fairly easy to learn and gives you a lot of control over just how you want to present your skies.

| Here's a really blah photo of some wild grass against a blue sky. Nothing to write home about. | Replace the sky with a sunrise effect and, voila! - it becomes a dramatic silhouette. Plus you were able to sleep in and take this shot at a much more civilized 9 AM. Why get up early when you can have KPT6 do it for you? (grin) |

 |
| A nice coastal photo. | I used Sky Effects to replace the ocean and also parts of the background. Suddenly, we're not in Kansas any longer, but on some alien planet. I also added a bit of KPT3 Noise to add texture to the flat spots. |
