[ 75 ]STEP FOUR:
CHANGE THE BLEND
MODE TO COLOR DODGE
Change the blending mode of the
Sun layer to Color Dodge.STEP FIVE:
UNCHECK TRANSPARENCY
SHAPES LAYER
To make the sun look more realis-
tic, Right-click on the Sun layer and
choose Blending Options. In the
Advanced Blending section, turn
off the Transparency Shapes Layer
checkbox, and click OK.
STEP SIX:
ADJUST THE POSITION &
INTENSITY OF THE SUN
Select the Move tool (V) and click-
and-drag the sun to the position
you wish. If you think it’s too big or
too small, use Free Transform (Com-
mand-T [PC: Ctrl-T]) to resize it; press
Enter to lock in your change.
In my opinion, the sun looks
too powerful. Since Color Dodge is
a special blend mode, Opacity and
Fill act differently. In this case, Fill
controls the intensity and projection
of the layer. Let’s decrease the Fill to
about 90%.
