Another image I made some time ago...

It is meant to be a wallpaper...

[Tami]

is that the one you made by following one of the kg tutorials?

[Paradox]

Well, I did notice that this lightning can be formed halfway through the Celestial Flare tutorial.....:-)

You could improve that by...

1) Duplicate the layer.
2) Image > Adjustments > Desaturate (Original layer)
3) Hue & Saturation > Colorize > Hue: 210, Saturation: 65, Lightness: 0 (Duplicate layer)
4) Set top layer to Linear Burn.

Plus you could even (after flattening image)...

5) Image > Adjustments > Levels - Set the input levels to: 125, 1.75, 255

Then just delete the bits that don't join.

hmm... each image provides a different style, therefore i dont think either \"improves\" on the other... dont get me wrong though, they are both very nice pieces or work /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

True.

I was just kinda working on how to get rid of the bits that aren't "attached" as real lightning doesn't do that, that's all.

mmyesss... but well, expand your mind! have we tought you nothing?

take nothing for what it seems... *evil grin*

Those are some good suggestions, Spooky.

I may have to look into setting some time aside to write some tutorials /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

Hmm.... I find this very interesting, thank you Spooky..
