I'm not. I'm just trying to make a nice looking blue flare that doesn't look as flashy as my last one. And honestly, I like the Mass Effect flares better, and they look a bit more like this one (flares wide and blue).

| Yup yup I see now. I just went to google images to see how their flares look, then you edited it with the pic.
Surely looks like mass effect then.

| anonymousgamer, I'm with Kviki, I think that the horizontal ghosts are too large and conspicuous. Try toning them down a little. Also, the "rainbow" ghost seems a little too... sharp, too distinct. Maybe it should be a bit blurrier? And have you tried any other designs for that ghost?

That looks much better! I'd love to have that flare in my installation

| You may use SE to convert to PNG or any other format. Just use these console commands:
SavePNG path/texture.ext
SaveTGA path/texture.ext
SaveJPG path/texture.ext
SaveDDS path/texture.ext
I.e. if you want to save the texture data/textures/flare.tga to png, type in the console:
SavePNG data/textures/flare.tga
If there are many files with the same name in the directory, SE loads the first one according to this priority:
PNG
JPG
JPEG
DDS
TGA
With regard to flares: I plan to make a drop-down box in the graphics settings where you can choose any installed lens flare mods. No renaming and backing-up will be required. Also, to save the texture size, I plan to replace one texture 'flare.png' with a texture atlas with parts of it, for example a large ray, a small ray, a glow, a ring etc., and a script that shows how to use them, i.e. where to place the 6 large rays, 28 small rays, a glow and a ring. Maybe I'll combine this texture atlas with the ghosts texture atlas, so there will only be a need for one texture file and one script for a single lens flare mod. And of course, I'll include the best of yours mods into the default installation

I will have tons of fun customizing that 
EDIT: The picture of the flare I just posted has the texture res for the ghosts at 2048x512 in case anyone is interested

That is a great idea, it would allow for potentially much more customizable and realistic flares.

| I'm going to post one more screenie to see what you guys think, and then I'm going to upload the files.
(Changed the color of the flare to a bluer blue, made the front flare and the rear flare bigger, re-positioned the flare ghost so it's more centered)
