Hi Andy, with step 6 you set the layers blend mode to ’screen’ in the drop down box on the right of your screen (the box to the left of opacity, above your layers), this box should have other options like ‘Hard Light’, ‘Soft Light’ ‘Multiply’ etc, but just set it to the ‘Screen’ option, then do step 7.
Hope that helps you out a bit! Feel free to ask more questions if you’re still stuck.

Hi Andy, you don’t need masks or new layers in between steps, all alterations are on the copy of the background layer, following it through should get you some rays! What part are you stuck at?

Geat tutorial Mark, I have tried to follow the steps but I am obviously missing something. Should I be using new layers, masks etc during each stage? I have only just started using photoshop “CS2″ and I am still finding it confusing.
