    you just made my trip to photoshop redundant. thank you this was worth every single penny. when i can reduce the amount of software and achieve artwork that I'm happy with genuinely happy with, then that's a win for me. so instead of making my own (of which i could certainly do) but i wont so please keep up the work and TAKE MORE of my money lol :) Great job

      Hey, this makes us really happy! We never thought we could compete with Photoshop! That's a win for us too. Thank you for your kind words and for your support: we're going to introduce some really good features in the next months (I'm talking about real-time compositor and screen space-based effects)!

    Great plugin! Very useful and makes a lot of things way better looking. After installing everything just works, is very intuitive and looks awesome. Also love the enthousiasm of this creator, when looking at his/their youtube channel full of enthousiastic and responsible videos about the product!

    Flared is a truly impressive addon, is very easy to use, and the effects it produces are highly customizable! For this price, what a deal!
    I am thinking about using this addon for my photography work as well.
    They say it is designed for Eevee, but it looks pretty amazing in Cycles too, as long as you crank up the transparent light paths.
    Great job and many thanks to the Flared team.

      Thank you so much, phinomet, for this review! Yes, it's easy to use Flared on pictures, there's a tutorial for this on my channel, if you like it (https://youtu.be/0RaxZ8kZdEU). And yes, thank you for having pointed to Cycles: now Cycles works perfectly, as we use the same shaders designed for Eevee, so the result is the same (in the very first year it was different). We have to thank the developers of Blender if now everything works fine! Have a nice blend!

    Agree with the sea of 5-stars reviews here, super good looking lens flares, high level of customization, easy to use and rock solid performance. One of the best addons on the market imho. Impressive!

    Before I got the Standard and love to use in my work and of course also got the Flared XT Extended and again these new templates bring amazing advantage.

    It's just great for everything Flare related. I'm probably gonna get the XT edition soon, too. Only not great thing is that when working with Cycles and you're moving all your flares from multiple cameras to a separate Eevee scene, you can partially see other flares from inactive cameras as almost smudges on the screen. A way to fix this would be to make all flares from inactive cameras invisible in the render, I think that would be a good idea.
    Other than that, I am extremely happy with this purchase, great work!

      Thank you Linus for your rating! And thank you for your suggestion, I think that this could be considered a bug, as the addon should work in the way that you are asking here. The one that you described is a particular situation, maybe we've forgotten to test it. We're going into this ASAP and let you know if we can solve it. Best!

    This addon is the BEST for lens flares! I am using it for Archviz projects...soo much better than adding one in post in PS. The only request I have is to make allow for adding separate camera / light sources instead of linking flares thru active camera. Keep up the great work!

      Thank you Ian, both for your super rating and for the feature request! About this last point, could you please write in the direct message/customer support area? We will be glad to try to find a way to do what you're looking for. Now I'm not sure if I've understood the request: maybe it has something to do with the multi camera? Because Flared has multi camera support (you can attach flares to different cameras and it will follow the active cameras into the animation, for example). Please, let us know! Thank you!
