Can anyone help me, I remember watching a tutorial on adding realistic lightning to
a photo - I think this was with a plug in or other program integrated with photoshop.
It was NOT merging two photos together. I cannot for the life of me remember what
is was or how to do it. Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks so much for any advice

Ok - that is not what I am looking for, thanks anyway. What I saw was so simple
and you could adjust how many legs where coming off the strike, how intense and
a few other things - it was so simple.
I am looking for LightNing not Lighting - just to confirm what I am asking.
