Adding a Lightning Effect..

So this is a Quick Tutorial on how to create lightning effects
in PS.
First create a new image,size is up to you in this tutorial
we will be using 200x200 like in the image Below...



Now make your foreground color Gray i use 149 in RGB for this
and your background color Black...



now use the Gradient tool and draw a line from the bottom to
the top and release.it should look like the images below...



Now add Differences clouds
Filter-Render-Difference Clouds
it should now look like this



now Press Ctrl+I and invert the image it should now look like
the one below



now go to image-adjustments-levels and use the black and grey
arrows to create the lightning,you can choose how many clouds
you want around it,these are the settings i used...


now go to image-adjustments-hue/saturation to change the
color of the lightning....


now you have just created lightning you can use image-adjustments
to flip it,and change the direction to your liking....
if you wanna add this to another pic just save it as a PS image,
and open the image you wanna add it to...create a new layer and
place your lightning bolt,now click normal and choose Screen like
in the image below to remove the black background and place the
lightning to your liking.....
