Photoshop CC 2020 tutorial showing how to add realistic lightning onto a dark, stormy sky. This is an update to a tutorial I did many years ago on an early version of Photoshop.

*****PLEASE READ!!!*****: At 2:39 in the video, I neglected to mention to merge Layer 3 and Layer 2 (press Ctrl or Cmd + E). Also, at 4:35, after you press "B" to open your Brush Tool, press "Q", to make the brush into a Quick Mask brush. Sorry about that!

Marty, I’ve ashamed to say I only came across you and this wonderful channel by mistake - and I now absolutely love it. You’re an easy teacher to listen to which makes the whole exercise so much more easier. Thank you for taking the time to help your fellow creatives out with new content. So great of you. Thanks mate.

Thanks for this. Didn't quite work on Photoshop 2021. At the point of making the lasso and pressing control J, it doesn't bring over the lightning in the new layer. Tried to follow exactly several times. Perhaps I am missing something.

@stwoods25 2 жыл бұрын

And it seems I have an extra layer after I lasso the lightning? You are showing 3 and I have 4. The lasso layer is not showing the lightning. It seems to show the brushed areas. I hope that helps.

I found that if I 'copy merged' that selection, make a new empty layer and 'paste' the selection to that layer then change the layer blend mode to 'screen', I get the lightning. Photoshop 2023

Awesome marty

@niaskywalk 4 жыл бұрын

Love all your tutorials! They are awesome and this one is no exception :-) You make it all seem so easy! Just a heads up, I think there is an added step at 1:58 or a missing one at at 2:52 because the extra layer is missing. At 4:41 is there another step before brushing? or will it automatically brush a quick mask? Sorry, do not have my PS with me at the moment to try it. Anyway, Marty thank you so much for all the Tutorials!

@BLTV_Photoshop 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the "heads up". Yes, at 2:39, I neglected to mention to merge Layer 3 and Layer 2, however, at 4:41, there is no extra step - once you click the Layer Mask icon at 5:11, a layer mask of the selection will automatically be placed next to the active layer (Layer 1). 👌

@niaskywalk 4 жыл бұрын

Cool, thanks, I thought the merge is what happened, but I wasn't certain! And Ok about the masking, I am looking forward to giving this a try as soon as I get to my computer :-) Thank you!

Pressing "Q", converts a selection into a quick mask and vice-versa.

Something in your document is preventing it. It could be due to any number of reasons. One would have to inspect it to determine the source of the problem.
