Photoshop: Quick sun tutorialby ~Retrohelix

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Digital Art / Drawing & Painting / Photoshop

I made this tutorial for people who are beginning to use photoshop, if you're a know-all ps savvy then this is not for you.

I made this in Photoshop 7, I have checked and the process seems to be the same up to Photoshop CS4.

It appears it also works for GIMP (thanks to Excalibur-T005 for pointing that out), although the options seem to be a tad different, I'll check into that and possibly edit the tutorial later.

*****Please note that Photoshop Elements doesn't have a Color Balance box, so there are 2 things you can do:

- Adjust Hue/Saturation (Enhance > Adjust Color > Adjust Hue/Saturation)

- Color Variations (Enhance > Adjust Color > Color Variations)

I'm not sure Color Variations will be of any help but give it a try if you don't like the result from Hue/Saturation.

If you like this please

it.

It may be quick but it worked wonders for a piece I'm finishing. Thanks for this

I'm glad it worked for you, it's a really cheap way to make a sun, but it's alright when you don't want to deal with it.

I agree. Sometimes the most simple solution works best.

I used this for my first comic page! Although I might of messed it up a bit. *sweatdrop*

~Retrohelix Aug 21, 2011

Don't worry about it, I checked the comic page you mention and it looks like you might have gone a little overboard, but it's easy to fix, just make the flare smaller
