The Lensflare Toolkit is a script-based image overlay system that can be used for lens flares, halos, stars, digital watermarks and other
"glowing" or overlay effects.
The Flare class has been released both as a standalone executable and as a linkable DLL. The DLL allows the Flare system to be used seamlessly by other programs.
The standalone executable only allows lens flares to be overlayed on BMP images, but the DLL blends flares with any standard image buffer. Therefore, the DLL could be used for image editor or renderer plugins, for creating animated flares or movie sequences, etc.
