Size – Specifies the size of the filter as percentage of the image's diagonal. See the Size example below.

Bloom – Controls the blend between bloom and glare. A value of 1 forces bloom to be applied to full extent and without any glare. A value of 0 removes the bloom completely and applies only glare. Values in-between blend the two effects proportionally. See the Bloom/Glare example below.

Intensity – Multiplier for the bloom/glare source bright pixels. Increasing the value can boost the effect by simulating up to 20 times brighter source. Values lower than 1 can be used to produce subtle bloom/glare from overbright sources. See the Intensity example below.

Threshold – Sets a minimum value for the rendered pixels to be considered as lens effects source. The Bloom/Glare effect will be generated only regarding pixels with larger value than the specified threshold.

Effect Rotation – Rotates the final result effect, regardless of this is a filter image or a procedurally created one. 

Cold/Warm – When enabled, the Bloom/Glare effect will be toned to cold hues. When disabled, the effects will receive warm hue. The hue shift requires Saturation values larger than 0. See the Cold/Warm & Saturation examples below.

Saturation – When the value is set 0, the effects use the original hue of the bright pixels to create bloom and glare. Larger values intensify the hue set with the Cold/Warm option. See the Cold/Warm & Saturation examples below.

Hardware Accelerated – Enable to calculate lens effects on the GPU. When multiple devices are present, V-Ray will prioritize the best one available.

Effect only – When enabled, only the effect is passed downstream allowing you to use the effect on other footage.

Verbosity – Specifies what type of messages will be printed in the log.

Clip to format – When enabled, if the bounding box is at or inside the format, don't enlarge the effect past the format. This avoids creating oversized images that aren’t used.
