LightningStep 01 - Create a new document. Step 02 - Open the gradient tool and set it to "Foreground to Background" (the first gradient). Step 03 - Press "D" to reset the colors to default. Step 04 - Make a line from either the (upper-left to lower-right) or (upper-right to lower-left). Step 05 - Go to "Filters" --> "Render" --> "Difference Clouds". Step 06 - Go to "Image" --> "Adjustments" --> "Invert" or just press "Ctrl + I". Step 07 - Go to "Image" --> "Adjustments" --> "Levels" or press "Ctrl + L". Step 08 - Toy with the settings to get your "desired" lightning, I'll go with what's shown in the image. Step 09 - Go to "Image" --> "Adjustments" --> "Color Balance" or press "Ctrl + B". Step 10 - Play with the colors 'til you find what you want. A sample of the results? Edit* Edited so that the pictures are there... (I hope the mods don't mind...) If you want to overlap multiple lightning bolts, see www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/lightning/lightning.htm, I hope this was useful to you!
