Hey folks,
I was in Paris and was taking pictures of the Eifeltower. At this evening it was thundering nut I wasn't able to catch the lightings.

So is it possible to add lightings to a picture?

Do I need to copy them from another picture or can I produce them within photoshop?

thanks winam

If you've got a shot of lighting, it's dead simple.
Copy-past the lightning onto a new layer. Set blend mode to "Screen".
