If you want to use plug-ins and don't mind paying for them (some have demos - I don't know the sites so go and search on Google!), these are by far the best: Axion Lens Flare Genesis V2 Pro Knoll Lens Flare The last two are decidedly the pick of the lot. Genesis can generate some eye-popping effects, and Knoll is for those who can spend hours tweaking elements and settings to achieve a final effect. Knoll, by the way, was developed by a guy who was on the Photoahop developing team. Enjoy !!
