I was never a fan of that tutorial. I’m thinking of making my own soon. Here is a pic of the one I made in Adobe After Effects, easy to do in Photoshop… ![image](http://img480.imageshack.us/img480/736/beampicsx8.jpg) Cole, ---

To make this one there are just a couple of steps to do… 1. Draw a straight white line 2. Manipulate it to be bendy and wavy or however you want it to look 3. Apply a Gaussian Blur to it. 4. Duplicate that layer about 4 times and for each layer, make it more and more blurry. 5. Change the colors of the beam so that they match the movie ones (inner core yellow, outer glow orangish red) 6. For the lightning, go here… > **[Create Realistic Lightning in Photoshop Tutorial](http://photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/lightning/lightning.htm)** > > Photoshop tutorial, how to electrify your images with lightning in Photoshop. This spooky graveyard will have lightning created and added in Photoshop It’s a good way to show you how to make a lightning bolt. Put it over a black layer, then set that layer to screen mode. This may sound confusing, but just mess around in Photoshop for a while and you’ll be able to make anything! Cole, ---
