Insert now the picture of lightning on the upper layer.



If it's necessary, you may change its dimensions.



Decolorize the layer (shift+ctrl+u) and correct the brightness and the contrast (ctrl+m).



Change the layer's type on Screen and minimize the Opacity till 60%.



Merge down all the layers now: Layer – Merge Visible (shift+ctrl+e).
Then you must insert on a new layer the texture with unequal edges.



Using the Magic Wand Tool, mark out and erase the white background the texture is situated on.



Place it lower than the picture's layer and group out both layers (ctrl+g).



Create a new layer now, placed lower than the rest of them and paint it in black, making use of Paint Bucket Tool.



Copy the texture's layer (ctrl+j) and place the copy above the picture.
Change this layer's type on Hard Light, but the Opacity minimize till 65%.



Make several corrections to the texture and place the copy above the black background. Turn it around horizontally with Edit – Transform – Flip Horizontal. That is to create the effect of having unequal edges.



Increase the contrast next step on the basic picture (Levels).
