Sun

In this tutorial, i'll show you how to make a red hot Sun. .

	Start a new document about 800x800. We will intially make it large, then scale it down. It looks better that way. - Create a new layer. - Then use the eliptical marquee tool, and while holding down shift, create a circle selection. Make the selection almost as big as your canvas.
	- Fill the selection with black. - Now go to Filter » Render » Difference Clouds - Press CTRL+F two more times to reapply the filter.
	Then go to Image » Adjustments » Levels. Move the center and right slider towards the left, something similar to mine below:
	Now go to Filter » Sharpen » Unsharp Mask Amount: 500% Radius: 3.0 Threshold: 15
	Now go to Filter » Distort » Spherize: Amount: 100% Then Filter » Distort » Spherize again, but this time: Amount: 50%
	Then go to Image » Adjustments » Color Balance Apply the following color levels: Shadows: +100 \| 0 \| -100 Midtones: +100 \| 0 \| -100 Highlights: +70 \| 0 \| -15 Alternatively, you can use the Hue & Saturation to colorize your sun.
	Now sharpen the image again. Filter » Sharpen » Unsharp Mask. Amount: 300% Radius: 3 Threshold: 15 CTRL+D to deselect If you want to learn how to create stars, See the SIMPLE STARS tutorial
