## ⁉️ FAQ

***

Can’t see the effect?

* Re-enable the addon by clicking the green button at the top. Or remove the node group from the compositor and re-activate the addon. 
* Make sure there is enough light in your scene & there are objects to reflect the light. Low roughness materials will react stronger to GLARE.
* Disable the Pass toggle top right. 

Temporarily disable the addon?

* Disable using the green button at the top. This will mute the node group. 

Improve performance?

* Going into camera view and making your viewport window smaller improves performance. 
* Muting an effect disables all the nodes related to it to improve performance.

Control properties?

* Hit backspace to restore properties to their default value. 
* You can push the values of the properties past the limit by typing in your desired value into the fields.

Updates?

* You'll be notified at the top of the UI if an update becomes available. 
* If old node groups are found in your project, you'll be prompted with a button that updates them automatically or requests you to remove them. 

Does this addon work with Scenes?

* Yes, you can use Glare with Scenes, but the settings will be synced across all instances.
