PS Charting Tutorial: Using gradients and filters to quickly create a variety of lightning

This tutorial presents a quick way to make lightning. The general process: first with the gradient and so on to make some gradient, you can also use the brush to paint some irregular color blocks. Then use the layered clouds to make the initial lightning. Later and then reversed phase and color matching can be.

Final effect

　　

1, first set the foreground color white, background color set to black, a new layer, I use the selection of a few rectangles, and then with the gradient along the 45 corners, up and down, around, and radial gradient, symmetric gradient fill the selection.

Of course, as long as one of them is OK.

　　

2, then execute: Filter-render-layered clouds, you will find that the lightning is along the gradient of the black and white line, so that we can control the direction.
