Quick Lens Flare Positioning Tip

[IKermit]

For awhile, the limited control of the lens flare bugged me.
For those who want more control, do the following.

1. Create a new layer and fill with black
2. Filter>Render>Lens Flare (whatever settings you want)
3. Set the layer mode to Screen
4. Free Transform (Ctrl + T) and move as desired

That's it

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to IKermit again.
God bless you and all of your descendants, sir. I've often wondered how to do that without simply undoing and trying again. Lens flares for everyone!

3. Set the layer mode to Screen

what does this do? make the black layer not show even though the lense flare shows?
