You will need a flash player to view this video... please click here to download if you cannot see the video [link]

You must have basic knowledge of photoshop to do this tutorial.

In this video tut ill show you the basics of importing an image into photoshop with an alpha channel and then removing that channel for further PS editing.

Also will show you how to make realistic looking lightning.

Enjoy.

Alpha channels can be used for a lot of things, glad you did a tut on it...I'm terrible at tuts and people ask me all the time.

As far as the lightning....I'll just use brushes. :lol:
