The S_Glint filter comes from the Emmy award winning Boris FX Sapphire filter set.

Light.

To select a preset, pick one from the Presets window.

Scales the brightness of all the glints.

Scales the color of the glints.

Scales the brightness of the horizontal glint rays.

Scales the brightness of the vertical glint rays.

Scales the brightness of the diagonal rays from top right to bottom left.

Scales the brightness of the diagonal rays from top left to bottom right.

Glints are generated from locations in the image that are brighter than this value. A value of .9 causes glints at only the brightest spots. A value of 0 causes glints for every non−black area.

This can be used to raise the threshold on a specific color and thereby reduce the glints generated on areas of the image containing that color.

Increase to smooth out the areas creating glints. This can be used to eliminate glints generated from small speckles or to simply soften the glints. Increasing this may put more highlights below the threshold and darken the resulting glints, but you can decrease the Threshold parameter to compensate.

Scales the length of all glint rays. Note that a 0 glint size still enhances the bright areas. Set the brightness parameter to 0 if you want to pass the image through unchanged.

Scales the length of the horizontal glint rays.

Scales the length of the vertical glint rays.

Scales the length of the diagonal rays from top right to bottom left.

Scales the length of the diagonal rays from top left to bottom right.

Scales the length of the red component of the rays. If the red, green, and blue sizes are equal, the glints will be uniform in color and will match the color of the image. If they are not equal, the glint colors can vary along the lengths of the rays.

Scales the length of the green component of the rays.

Scales the length of the blue component of the rays.

The glints are blurred by this amount before being combined with the background.

Shifts the hue of the glint, in revolutions from red to green to blue to red.

The glint is generated from the alpha channel instead of the RGB channels. In this case, the glint will not use color from the image and will typically be brighter. Values between 0 and 100 interpolate between using the RGB and the alpha.

Set to 1 to composite the image over the glints.

Scales the opacity of the image when combined with the glints. This does not affect the generation of the glints themselves.

If enabled, transparent borders are added to the image before processing. This allows the result to include soft edges beyond the original image size. When off, the effect only occurs within the frame and the result will retain an edge at the borders.

Enables/disables the on-screen control for adjusting the size parameters.
