As solar cycle 24 begins, the return of active regions and solar flares provides new opportunities for the study of the sun, particularly with the recently launched Solar Dynamics Orbiter. This allows these regions to be studied in more detail than has previously been possible. We have developed a magnetic segmentation algorithm that allows us to examine magnetic structures within active region magnetograms and track their evolution in space and time. With this, we can build up a picture of the photospheric properties of the active region before and after solar flares. We can then examine the structures for changes that occur around the time of flaring and compare these with changes seen in other active regions at times of emergence, flaring and decay. We present the findings of a study of flaring active regions, most of which come from SOHO/MDI data and two use data from SDO/HMI. These two regions observed by HMI include two of the strongest flares seen during the beginning of solar cycle 24 whilst the MDI regions are very active regions from the peak of solar cycle 23. In this way we can also compare any changes observed between the two cycles.
