Hello all, I've been using gimp for a while now, it's decidedly not gimp at all. Not as powerful as photoshop but it does well and you can't argue with free.

Just found out about plug-ins and I was wondering if there were any that add in more lens glare (something I like to play around with for dramatic effect). And while I'm at it are there any tutorials for the use of lighting effects?
