How to make a lighting effect in Gimp 2.8.10

Hi everyone, In this tutorial I will be showing you how to make a lighting effect in Gimp. We will be combining a few images together. So, you will see how to use the layer mask a little in this video tutorial. Also, you will learn how to add a few images together and mask them. Make lighting effects from scratch can be hard. You have to find the right images to use, as well as trying to fit the images together to make them fit to what type of lighting effect that you are trying to achieve. This tutorial is kind of long, I do apologize for that. We have a lot to cover in this tutorial. I got all the images off of deviant are. I use deviantart a lot to find stock images to use for free. If you don't have an a ccount on there, it is easy to make one. The best part is deviantart is free. I hope this tutorial is a big help.
