The Flare Effect

Flare is one of the options in the Category list on the Effects tab in an object’s Properties dialog box.

This effect allows you to apply a glowing effect to an object:

To edit the settings for the Flare effect:

1. If you want to change the width of the flare, use the spin buttons beside the Width option to increase or decrease the size of the flare, one pixel at a time.

2. Click on the down button beside the Colour option to change the colour of the flare. A drop down colour well will open from which you can select your colour.

3. If you want to change how transparent the flare is, use the spin buttons beside the Transparency option to increase or decrease the level of transparency.

4. If you want to change the amount a flare fades at the edge, use the spin buttons beside the Blur option to increase the amount of blur.

5. Click on the Apply button to save your changes.
