Lightining

This isnt exactlly that hard to do - I dont think anyway but I still cant do it because Im new. Anyway here is my question: How do you make multiple lightnings? Sure, I know how to make one but I want to make like 6 or 8. BTW I have Photoshop 6.0 and I would appreaciate a detailed description. Thank you.

Make 1 and then copy it 8 times

just go to edit>copy ?

I guess what you ment, is how you can make several different lightnings in one pic... that's easy too, you make a new layer or some more and do the same methods as you use before, but use different settings, or play with the transform tool..
that would get you some different lightnings..

You don't have to do it over and oover again, you can just drag the layer with the lightning on to the 'new layer' button, and the lightning will copy the layer. Now you can midify that layer, copy, modify, copy etc.

If you want multiples on the same layer, just use difference clouds 5 or six times, invert and change the levels. You can use multiple gradients on the same layer to get the effect faster.

Drawing it your own gives a lot better results if you practice, and it's more fun

How can I draw it?

Try using the polygonal selection tool and the pen tool to get the shape. Then stroke it with an airbrush.

I tried it and I have no clue how to do it. Can you please explian it to me a little more in depth? Im just a stupid newbie - dont make fun of me.
