Lightning - PHOTOSHOP TUTORIAL

[Alison]

I think I'm putting this in the right place.

I used to make lightning in photoshop, about 2 years ago, and I've been pulling my hair out trying to remember how to do it.
Well I found it today and would love to share it with everyone here.
Here is my attempt.



And here is the tutorial http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutoria.../lightning.htm
It's so cool! I LOVE it!

Enjoy!
