New Features and Enhancements

  • Real Lens Flares:
    • Obscuration: Reference the luminance, alpha, or RGB values of a layer to create foreground obscuring elements for your flare. Includes a built-in Matte Box function.
    • Light Ball: A new core projection that allows you to render a physical representation of your light source. Great for placing a sun in the skyt or adding headlights in a day-for-night shot.
    • Position Falloff Graphs: This UI element introduced with the Ring core projection has been added to all other core projections except for Gate Flare.
    • Schmutz Image-based Illumination Update: Expanded control and functionality for the Schmutz background illumination feature.
  • Spot Clone Tracker:
    • Tracker Only mode: A new checkbox that, when enabled, hides all non-tracking-related parameters and provides new Create Null and Clear Track buttons for a faster tracking workflow.
    • Shape Roundness: A new slider that determines the roundness of the Spot and Clone From shapes. Handy for fitting into tight corners such as replacing text on a page.
