Awesome tutorial!! I have one question though: how do you put the lightning layer into screen mode? I have Photoshop Elements 7, and I'm not sure how to do it...

In your layers palette, there should be a bar with the word 'normal' in it. It's under that.
Then again, I don't know how different the interface is from Elements 5...

I don't think I have it, sadly... Thanks for your help though! I'll just try experimenting until I find something to replace the process.
Thanks again!

Select part of the bolt, right click, then click 'Layer via copy'
Put that layer into 'screen' blending, and you'll be able to move it around where you want it, creating forks.
