showing only through lens flare
Hey, I made a lens flare using “knoll light factory”, and i’m trying to make an effect in which Im putting my lens flare behind a picture (in 3D ofcourse), and i want to see the lens flare itself, and only the parts of the picture which are exactly in front of the lens flare.
I figured i should use a specific blending mode on the picture, but the only one that has a similar result is “silhouette luma”, but it shows the picture in black and white and not in color.What do i do?
Thnx ahead -

Well, when i lower the opacity of the picture, i can indeed see the lens flare behind it, although i still see parts of the picture which are’nt in front of the lens flare, but i want to see only the ones in front of it..
Masks will not be any good unless i want to work really hard, because if i want to animate the flare so it moves behind the pictures, i’d have to manually key frame the masks.. -
If you duplicate your lens flare layer and use it as a Luma Matte for the picture layer does that do what you want?

Actually it does! I just didn’t think about duplicating the lens flare layer!
THANKS!Mr. LaRonde, i guess sometimes slackers are just people who are not yet to find the easy solution.. 🙂
