\"solaris\"<\/a>
\nEach month this year we’ve been adding a new content pack for Essentials and Pro members. It’s our way of saying thanks for being a power user. For August, we have a pack that is seasonal in its look: Solaris. This new\u00a0overlay pack will make your photos look like they’ve been decimated by the dog days of summer.
\nThe 20 overlays in the Solaris pack are all about adding hazy, wavy, shimmery looks to your photos that suggest sunstroke and solar flares. They’ll add a dried out, light-leaked, and overheated spin to your images that can be pretty subtle or pretty overbearing \u2014 depending on \u00a0how you use them. As with all overlays, you can dial back the opacity to lessen the effect, and you can always add an effect twice if you just aren’t getting enough out of 100%. As with most overlay packs, some of the effects work best on lighter images, and some only really make themselves known on very dark images. Your photos exist on a spectrum of light and color, and the only way to really know how it will look is to give it a shot. Sign in to your account, and you’ll find Solaris in both\u00a0overlay pack in both\u00a0Pixlr for iOS and Android<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Pixlr Desktop<\/a>.
\nWe made a few images with these overlays to give you an idea of what they look like. Some of the overlays add a slight pattern that is almost canvas- or netting-like in its look. Some of them add leaks of sunlight coming in from the sides or corners:

\nSome of the Solaris overlays work best with darker images and give the look of a shimmering mirage:

\nSome of them add a bokeh-like textures or even a faint look of dried-out roses:

This week\u2019s challenge: #pixlr #solaris<\/h3>\n

When we release a new pack for our members, we find that\u00a0it’s the perfect theme for a challenge. Edit your images and tag them with both hashtags #pixlr #solaris<\/strong> on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, etc. If you\u2019re not an Essentials or Pro member, you can sign up for an Essentials account for free, which will give you access to this pack and all the others we’ve released this year. We\u2019ll scour the Internet looking for the best images \u2014 which can be about anything, really \u2014 and share them on our social media channels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
