Tutorial 5

December 19, 2008

Step 1: select picture of a guy doing yoga. Now I want to create a flame on both of his hand.



Step 2: I used the lasso tool to draw a flame to make it into brush. Click Ctrl and backspace to make the flame background to be in white colour. Then use the Gaussian Blur effect to make it soften at its end.
Next, I sprayed with darker colour,Before that I have to click the preserve transparency of the layer in the layer properties. Use the brush tool to paint in the end of the flames. To turn it to brush, simply go and select the marquee tool and draw the marquee that cover the size of the brush that I already created. Then set the background layer to invisible. Subsequently, go to edit menu and select define brush preset.

Step 3: After creating the flame brush,I set the flames layer to be invisible. Set background to visible and create new layer and name it final flames. Go to brush tool and choose the flames brush that been created earlier and start draw the flames.


Step 4: Create another layer which will content the colour of the flames. Draw a rectangular marquee then at the colour window make the foreground colour to be dark red and background with bright yellow. Then go to Filter – Render – clouds, then use Level (ctrl L) to give a better effect.



Step 5: Then hit Ctrl T to adjust the layer before on top of the flames. While selecting the colour layer click Ctrl and select final flames layer to make a selection. Shift Ctrl I to inverse it so that other will be selected except for the final flames layer and hit ctrl backspace to remove the extra pixel and deselect it. Then click Alt and click and drag the flames to make a copy for the other hand.


Step 6: Now I want to create a smoke effect. To do so I need to use the clouds effect again. Create a layer and using the lasso tool to define the area of smoke. Then click Alt backspace to put a white colour in the area. Use the Gaussian blur again for the smoke. Turn on the transparent pixel in the layer properties. Then use the clouds effect again and you may use the level option to darken the smoke effect. Then use the multiply option. Finally remove the dark pixel from the face by using the eraser tool.


Step 7: As an additional, drag in the lightning image into the file. Then use the blending option “this layer” and “underlying layer” to give a lightning effect. Then use darken and hard mix option to make some effect in the background of the picture.





for the last stage...i put water surface under this yoga man and put blending option to make looks like this guy sitting on the water
