Rays of Light

o Make a new layer.

o Choose the polygonal lasso and draw an outline of the rays (usually diagonally from top to bottom) like this.

o Fill the selected area with a gradient (select gradient tool and pick the yellow to transparent gradient). Adjust opacity of gradient to make the light look real (try 20%).

o Blur the lines to soften it even more.

o Add a lens flare if you want (filter, render, lens flare).
