I have not seen the data, but I doubt that there are impressive pictures of the event -- especially in the optical bands. This did not happen on the Sun; according to the article, this was in a system 135 light years away. Any visuals would have been very difficult to detect. Additionally, Swift detected this in the x-ray bands. Yes, this can be shown on a coordinate system, and we might see some brightening in the region. However, the flare probably appeared as a peak on a graph... this is not going to provide the kind of images that most readers of press releases are going to be interested in.
