Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: presenting a plurality of visually rendered shapes, each one of the plurality of visually rendered shapes having a geometric correspondence with a lens flare component, each lens flare component being one of: a center point, a flare ring, a flare ray, or a halo; receiving a first user input to manipulate a first visually rendered shape the plurality of visually rendered shapes to interactively change the position or form of a first corresponding lens flare component; presenting a visual rendering of the first corresponding lens flare component where the visual rendering reflects the change in the position or the form of the first corresponding lens flare component; and automatically modifying a position or form of a second lens flare component corresponding to a second visually rendered shape in the plurality of visually rendered shapes to compensate for the manipulation of the first visually rendered shape.
