Hello everyone!

In this video, we'll see how to use the Mix 1 mode of the Glare post-production node in Blender to isolate and adjust the glow separately before adding it back to the original image. Among other things, we'll see how to direct the Glare; how to make it larger, brighter, and how to give a color tint to its outer parts.

This tutorial was recorded using Blender 4.1, but the Glare node has been available for several versions of Blender, although it was previously grouped differently in the Add menu.
