Patent ID: 7974821

Claim:
A computer-implemented method, comprising: presenting a plurality of visually rendered wire frame shapes, each one of the plurality of visually rendered wire frame 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 input to manipulate a first visually rendered wire frame shape in the plurality of visually rendered wire frame 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 location or size of a second visually rendered wire frame shape in the plurality of visually rendered wire frame shapes to compensate for the change to the first lens flare component, the second visually rendered wire frame shape being different from the first visually rendered wire frame shape.
