Hello,
I’ve read some tutorials on how to create realistic lightning bolts, but I do have one issue. I can create the bolts using the difference clouds, and changing the hue/sat settings and brightness settings. However, how can I make the black background disappear, thereby isolating the bolt? The tutorials I read said to change it to "screen" mode, which I did. But when I moved the layer to another file, the lightning was not visible at all. Am I missing a step? If I leave the layer in "normal" mode, it is visible but it has the black background. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
