Lightning never strikes twice in the same spot. Well, this tutorial will show you how to make a lightning strike in one spot, at least.
1. Create a new file and press D to restore the default colours (black and white). Apply a gradient using the Gradient Tool.
2. Go to Filter -> Render and select Difference clouds.
3. Now go to Image -> Adjustments -> Levels and drag the pointer of the Input Levels to the left until you get to a value around 4.50.
4. Invert the colours by going to Image -> Adjustments -> Inverse or by pressing Ctrl+ “i”.
5. Adjust the coloring and the contrast (Image -> Adjustments) and you’re done.

No one seems to be able to make a tutorial on how to make REALISTIC lightning. This is all good but looks very basic…..
