Xenofex 2 - Lightning
A look at Alien Skin's latest update to the popular Xenofex plug-in suite

Lightning
Lightning allows you to add thunderbolts of electricity to any scene with complete control over the beginning and end points of the arc. Controls allow you to adjust the color, thickness, jaggedness, branching, and branch spread. You can also specify the color of the lightning as well as the glow color, width, and opacity. The random seed button lets you experiment with a variety of effects and is helpful in creating animations.

The Xenofex 2 Lightning Effect and Photoshop's gradient mapping was applied to the image above for an instant haunted house.
