Step 3 Lower brightness

Set the gradient layers blend mode to Color and this time add the Curves adjustment from the same icon. Pull the curves line downwards to lower the brightness. This will vary on how bright your image is to begin with.

Select the Brush tool (B) and, in the Options bar under Brush, set Hardness to 0%. Set Opacity to 30% and paint over the sky starting from where the sun is (or will be). Keep this effect subtle.

Step 6 Glowing sunlight

Change the Foreground colour to white and paint over the patch of sky where you want the sun to be placed. At 30% Opacity, this will take a couple of stamps of the Brush to reveal a bright white glow.
