Main Controls
Starglow has the following main controls:
Preset
Select a preset from the top of the plugin controls. In the list of presets, the first section (Red, Green, Blue) are simple star shapes that use only one color map. The next section is a set of shapes, all with white color. The next section is a set of prisms. Then follows a set of colorful star shapes. When a preset is selected, the image will update. If you change any of the controls in the preset (Individual Lengths, Individual Colors and Colormaps), the preset pop-up will flip back to the "Current Settings" state.
This image shows all of the presets in Starglow.
Input Channel
Use the menu to base the effect on Lightness, Luminance, Red, Green, Blue or Alpha channels in the source layer or clip.
Streak Length
This controls acts as a master slider for streak lengths in all directions. Larger values show very long streaks, while smaller values yield more of a subtle glow.
Boost Light
The Boost Light slider controls the brightness of the streaks to make them look more pronounced. This control has been updated in this version, please see New Features in 1.5 for more information.
