However, keep in mind that render quality scales number of rays sent through the system <strong>quadratically<\/strong>, so increasing it too much can quickly cause the plugin to <strong>run out of VRAM<\/strong>. When this happens, some <strong>ghosts<\/strong> may fail to render properly. The next image demonstrates how to resolve this issue.<br>Note: Different lens systems converge at different rates. For many setups, a relatively low render quality (around <strong>10\u201330<\/strong>) is already sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ghost Disappearing &#8211;

wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">Pixel Driven Flares Parameters:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Understanding what happens <strong>under the hood<\/strong> will make using this tool much easier\u2014and far more powerful.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">When you adjust the <strong>threshold<\/strong>, the plugin isolates the brightest areas of the image. For each of these bright regions, it spawns a <strong>light source<\/strong>, ordered by brightness (up to the <strong>maximum number of lights<\/strong> specified). The strength of each light is determined by the <strong>weighted brightness<\/strong> of its corresponding area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Because HDR inputs can contain extremely high pixel values (sometimes exceeding <strong>10,000.0<\/strong>), the resulting flare brightness might not match what you expect. To compensate, you can adjust the <strong>Light Brightness Multiplier<\/strong> parameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Example:<\/strong><br>If an area contains pixels with RGB values around <strong>1000.0<\/strong>, the flare generated from that area will have a light strength calculated as:<br>Light Strength = 1000.0 \u00d7 Light Brightness Multiplier \u00d7 Internal Constant<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">Threshold To Render Only Starburst:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After calculating the <strong>Light Strength<\/strong> values, you can decide whether to render <strong>ghosts<\/strong> for each light. The <strong>Threshold to Render Only Starburst<\/strong> parameter evaluates the computed light strength and determines whether it falls below the specified threshold\u2014if it does, that light will only render the starburst effect instead of a full ghost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">Light Size Blur Multiplier:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Since some highlight areas are larger than others, you can apply <strong>blur<\/strong> to the flares originating from these regions to achieve more realistic results. The <strong>blur amount<\/strong> is controlled by this parameter, and the plugin automatically detects the highlight\u2019s shape to apply the appropriate blur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Light Area Weight:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to simulate the natural behavior where <strong>larger highlight areas produce brighter flares<\/strong>, you can adjust this parameter to make <strong>smaller lights appear dimmer<\/strong> in comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"align wp-block-icb-image-compare\" id='icbImageCompare-6'
