I want to know how you make a cool lightning effect.

Not that stupid clouds invert adjust levels that looks dumb.

But a really cool lightning effect.

These are kind of uncontrollable but:

First make an image of almost equal proportions something like
500 x 300 or similar if you're making a Sig. then you go
Filter>render>clouds
Filter>render>difference clouds
Then hit Ctrl+F 4 times so that you have balanced clouds
Now, go to Ctrl+L and drag the black slider (on the top bar) to the left
Until you see something in relation to lightning
Now go Ctrl+U check the colorize box and pick your color
Whala, instantaneous clouds :D

did u even read my first post?

that effect looks really dumb, the only thing i can get to look remotely cool is by hand

Then do it by hand but those the only two ways you're going to get your lightning
