4. Example Images

Here is an example of how the sparkle plug-in can be used to add both lens flare and a feathered edge to an image.

First, the original image: an image of the Royal Gorge in Colordao taken from a postcard.

Now, two versions of this same image after being processed by the sparkle plug-in (if you see rows of dots in the white area around the images its not a problem with the sparkle plug-in, its an artifact from converting to jpeg and using higher compression):

Threshold: 0.1129 Flare Intensity: 0.303 Spike Length: 76	Threshold: 0.0806 Flare Intensity: 0.303 Spike Length: 76

The rest of the values used in the sparkle dialog box are the default values.
