Step 2: Create a new layer

On the Layers panel, click "Create New Layer". Then change the blending mode of layer 1 to color filter.

Step 3: Add a Gradient

Set the foreground color to white first. You can choose to use shortcut keys, successively press the keyboard D and X. Next, select the Gradient tool in the left toolbar and use a radial gradient (the default is a linear gradient). Simulate the effect of the sun's glow, using the mouse to draw a line. Of course, you can undo the operation a few more times until the light looks incredibly natural.

Step 4: Add photo filter

OK, now we're going to add a photo filter adjustment layer. Go to "layer" → "New adjustment layer" → "photo filter". With the default setting, the opacity is set to 100%.

Step 5: Change the blending mode

If necessary, change the blending mode to overlay and reduce the opacity.
