Good tutorial. I have a question. I would like to use a sun like that, but without black background. I need to extract the corona somehow, so I can put it on a transparent background (for a weather icon). How can I use clouds filter if I want a transparent background? Thanks

@slovenec88

You would simply have to apply the clouds to only the sun and not the background by selecting only the sun. After the clouds are applied to the sun, go to select/modify/expand by 3 pixels. Then move both layers off of the background and on to a different background.

The reason I do it on the whole black background, is because I animate the sun by moving the clouds across the sun horizontally in a loop.

@DJMaddmatt Thanks, but that would mean an additional circle around sun, on some backgrounds. I draw rays myself. :)
