In this Photoshop CS4 tutorial I am writing about photo effect, to add nature effects as a lightning stroke behind someone, this is as I mentioned before in last paragraph of previous tutorial about Making Selection Using Channel in CS4.

In this tutorial, I use a free photo from FreeDigitalPhotos.net.

Step 1
Duplicate the Background layer, and separate the model from the sky. To do this, you can use mask panel that I have written in Using Mask Panel in Photoshop CS4

Step 2
Select the below layer (Background), and make sure the Foreground and Background color are in default color (black and white).

Select Filter > Render > Clouds

Step 3
Make a lightning image in this layer. You can use Xenofex 2 plugin or create lightning by yourself. I use the plugin in this tutorial.
