[@WanderFeetChronicles]

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.

Welcome aboard!

[@liverpoolpictorial]

Marty was the first and still the best Photoshop channel I subscribed to many years ago.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Thanks! 👍

[@hannalilly6009]

I tried to follow this tutorial step by step several times and it doesn't work I get nothing close to this and when I lasso I don't even get the lighting bit I just get smudges

[@barnabaskissr.402]

go to Image / Mode and set it to 16 or 32bits and it will work!

Love this video. You’re explained it perfectly and perfect pace.

[@niaskywalk]

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]

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]

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!

Thank you for asking exactly the questions I was going to ask years ago, good work.

Hello Marty, today is my friend Jordans birthday and we are fans of your youtube channel. It would mean a lot if you wished her a happy birthday! Thank you!

HaPpY BirThDaY, JoRdAn!!! 🍰🎈💙

[@Dilemma009]

I saw a few people say something felt missing. Rewatch a few parts and had trouble completing it correctly. Wasn't able to brush over a few of my layers. Or at one instance you had one deleted and I still had one active. Not sure but really wanted to learn this technique

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Sorry about that. I did another lightning tutorial 4 years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5y9o4ybiLFlZ8k FYI: Boris FX Optics has a great lightning filter. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWXZYWmagLtjadE

[@tahaabdulsalam9424]

Thank u so much.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

You're most welcome!

[@grayhatesgrey]

I didnt know you could use clouds like that

[@bryaromar801]

Hawo to glow anything in Photoshop Without losing the details of the picture.

[@fickbohm609]

Unfortunately I can't get the lightning to show up on top of layer? This is after deleting the layer below after lasso

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

What is the time code (minute: second)? Thanks.

[@AudricDaziel]

@blue lightning TV Photoshop: At @3:06 when you change blend mode to screen, my lightning has a white glow around it...not sure how to make it look like a clear lightning bolt like you get. Please help

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Are you saying that the shape of the cut-out in the lightning layer has a glow around it? The bolt, itself, should have a glow around it.

[@AudricDaziel]

@@BLTV_Photoshop yes but the glow is huge as if the size is high on an outer glow...looks like a blob.

[@dewansalmanrahman4100]

is this adobe lightroom or Adobe Photoshop?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Photoshop

[@KylesCaptures]

When using the brush on the cloud i cannot turn it into a layer by pressing Q it does not do anything for me.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

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

[@Z0d14c]

woahhhhhh!

[@imtsalahmad6939]

nice

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Thanks!

[@blazerific]

whenever I delete the layer after laso-ing the lighting I want, something goes wrong. the laso-d layer goes back to the entire lighting scene before I painted over everything... any idea what I did wrong?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

At what point in the video (minute: second)? Please refer to this video in your reply. Thanks.

[@blazerific]

@@BLTV_Photoshop at 2:57, when I delete the layer below it, the layer on top that is isolated and lassoed reverts back to the entire "lightning image" without any paint applied or lasso.

[@surajchoudhari1766]

Same thing happened with me

[@MultiBFF2000]

Lovin your voice!!!

[@spectreninesix1335]

It doesn;t quick select when i hit Q

[@surajchoudhari1766]

Ctrl or cmd J ? But it's not working to cut and copy to its own layer 😩

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

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.

[@godsplannn]

how did you make yours move?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

I edited together individual jpgs in my screen-recording application, Camtasia.

[@misamalirizvi1610]

WHOH!

[@landon_8264]

when i go to render the cloud option isint there

[@bamnr]

i cant find it either

[@kevinsundelin8639]

What version are you on?

[@immanuelmisiani3309]

w vid

[@surajchoudhari1766]

Pres Ctrl or cmd J to cut and copy it onto its own layer .it's not working

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Ctrl + J (Windows) and Cmd + J (Mac) have always been standard Photoshop default methods to copy layers onto their own layer.

[@franklinames1264]

I can't enter a value of .24 like you did at 1:47

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

You should be able to enter it for the midtones. as I did. 🤔

[@fiatflavius5529]

CTRL J wont cut and copy it

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

There are a few reasons this could be happening. Unfortunately, one would have to inspect your document to determine which one it is.
