xenofex, or to do it home made by making a new layer, use the clouds filter, then diff clouds for more texture, (use black and white for the colors, you can colorize it later). invert the layer, and then use blendings options:default (photoshop 6) or layer options (photoshop 5). move the left side (black) traingle under this layer to the right about half way. hit alt/option +click to seperate the traingles. ajust it to your liking and erase what you dont want then colorize to your liking. this is one of the best tricks out there and its very effective, even better than xenofex if you adjust it right.

I agree with platinum. The Xenofex filter just looks fake. Making lightning manually is more time consuming, but you get better results.
