No. I've never use Photoshop Element. I currently use only CS3 and CS4 extended.

You may need to try. I think Photoshop Element should work : )

... great tutorial, congrats ... this is the method i use ... only a difference ... i desaturate de ray of light layer, adjust levels and apply gaussian blur. The result perhaps is more soft.

This is a very useful tutorial and easy to follow! I have several sunset images that would look stunning with rays of light, but I had no idea how to create the look.

I'm a user of PS Elements and Gimp. However, your guide is clear enough that I can probably figure it out between the two. Thanks!

Great tutorial, here is my try at it. We have had some great sunrises out in here in Colorado, but unfortunately it is due to the fires in southern California.

Thanks, I've been thinking about this when I'm shooting so whenever I get a photo to play with, I'll check and see how well it works with Elements.
