Create a new layer which must be processed with a standard brush and paint the rays with the color #372F7D. This layer needs to be placed lower than the rays’ layers (on the layers’ panel).

    Hmm, nice idea and I managed to assemble everything required. But the instructions were not that easy to understand, especially at the beginning with the layers.

    I can’t get the gradient tool to go from black to transparent, it just stays black, help?

    Very nice tut :) Learned a lot, though it took me a lot of time to do the layer because I didn’t understand them immediately :/ If they were easier it would have been a relief to most of the users trying to do it :) Especially for ones like me, a beginner.
    Also it took me a long time to figure out that the mode used was CYMK not RGB….

    Thanks for the tut. I can’t seem to get the blend-option overlay right.
    When I change the layers from normal to overlay .. everything turns black. Am I doing it wrong?
