Here is a simple way to create a lightning effect for addition as background. This can be done in both Photoshop CS 2 and Photoshop7
Step 2 : Click the Gradient Tool. The default setting is Black to White. If it is not click the first box from the drop down menu shown with the arrow.
Step 1 : I have opened a blank white document. I intend to create lightning streaks which I can use as a background for some other image.
Step 2 : Click the Gradient Tool. The default setting is Black to White. If it is not click the first box from the drop down menu shown with the arrow.
Step 3 : With the Gradient Tool selected drag from top left to right bottom. You will get the above effect.
Step 4 : Go to Filter>Render>Difference Clouds as shown above.
Step 5 : This will be the result after clicking Difference Clouds.
Step 6 : Hit CTRL+I on your keyboard to invert. This is what you will get. The lightning streaks are now visible.
Step 7 : Now go to Image>Adjustments>Levels
Step 8 : When the above dialogue box opens drag the slider shown to the right.
Step 9 : This is the result.
Step 10 : Now go to Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation as shown above.
Step 11 : When this dialogue box opens check the Colorize box as shown. This will add color to the image.
Step 12 : Now drag the Hue slider to the Right. You can fiddle with the Saturation and Lightness sliders too for darkening or making the image bright.
Step 13 : And the lightning is complete.
