Hi 2K,

Simply drag the center of the image (The vertex where all the lines meet) to the top left corner to simulate the rays coming from that directly. If your image is then not big enough to cover the entire canvas, you can resize it as photoshop will do an adequate job resampling and retaining the sharp edges of each ray. If not, you can redo this ray effect quite easily making vertical lines and then using polar coordinates, assuming thats how you achieved this image.

eh, i havent been able to figure out that method. when i drag it to the top left obviously most of it goes out of frame. what would i do to fill that empty space to make it look complete? fairly new to these types of techniques so help would be greatly appreciated.

You can recreate the image on a larger (and separate) canvas so that when you move the image back to the original document, it can cover the entire canvas without the empty space. I would recommend creating the sun on another canvas that is about 3 or 4 times larger than your original.
