[QuadList] Simulating vintage camera looks

[David C. Crosthwait]

Scott,

Looks great! Nice effect.

A few years ago, when I was working on "Malcolm in the Middle" using  
the DS Nitris, there was an effect "button" labeled "ORTH". I don't  
recall if this was a Sapphire effect or not, but enabling it did give  
you a fairly good looking simulation of an image orthicon halo "look".
