Head of production methods making the flame broadly need to go through the following processes: The first step is to image processing, identify the picture with some filters and other parts of the body contours. The second step with the smoke or flame brush along the contour to add smoke. Finally, the smoke is part of the refinement and color, you can choose a familiar approach.

1, with the opening material magic wand tool to select the background image, invert the selection (ctrl + i) select portrait, copy the new layer (ctrl + j).



2, click the background layer and fill it with black, back to the layer one with the eraser tool to erase the extra part, until only under the head. Make sure you brush opacity set to 100%.



3, some of the head is narrow, and placed in the central canvas. Now use Filter - Other - median filter to soften some of the picture, adjust the radius value of 5-7 left.

4, the picture executive to color command (ctrl + shift + u), then use the Filter - Stylize - looking for the edge-line filter to create a sketch line of draft results, and we need precisely the opposite of it, so the implementation of RP (ctrl + i), good Now you can use it to act as a guide line.



5, with a Gaussian filter to blur some of the looks of this picture, adjust the radius value of about 6px so. With the eraser tool to some neck and hair, we do not want to keep part of the wipe (the picture below circled in yellow part).



6, in this layer, open the Levels dialog box (ctrl + l), adjust the highlights, midtones, shadows the value of the following map (which can be adjusted according to their own feelings), do so in order to increase image contrast, so dark and darker, brighter highlights.

7, first add smoke brush (pictured) can go online to download, pay attention to this pen Brush may default a little big.



8, Ctrl + j Duplicate Layer 1, then the blend mode to color filter, now the white line becomes brighter.



9, above the new layer (named smoke), choose a smoke brush, click on the canvas to create a smoke shape ( Note the transparency of 100%).

10, change the size of smoke, you want to put on the location (such as the edge line) , the most complex part of this thing, think how good you want it to deformation, we must first remove the unwanted part, this step can be soft-edged brush. 50% transparency.





11, correction of the shape of smoke: One way is to use the smudge tool, 30% power to painted, pull the smoke, it looks real . Note: the smudge tool will let him become blurred.

12, another method is to use liquefied tool, choose the Display option in the background behind the mode, opacity 100%.



13, this step is the key to a lot of practice, the first and second methods together. Remember to add a new smoke every time should create a new layer, once you start doing it, you'll feel very much there, so not described in detail in this. Here is a quick little guide.

14, in the background to add some extra smoke to increase the depth of the new layer above the background layer, use the shortcut key d to set the default foreground and background color, perform Filter - Render - Clouds.



15, noticed some black layer gains and the head part of blocking the effect of clouds, this is not what we want to achieve effect. The layer blending mode to a color filter can solve this problem:)



16, back to the clouds to add a layer mask version, with the image gradient to make the mask look like so Yanwu slowly fade, as shown. Smoke some of it done now. . The next step is to add some flash, and coloring of.

17, add in all the layers on top of a gradient layer, adjust the gradient colors shown. Mixed mode: overlay.



18, select the brush, brush additional combinations. Fig.



19, following a gradient layer to create a new layer of glitter. Choose starburst brush, diameter tune of about 30px,, brush spacing of about 190% as shown in Figure.

20, select the Shape Dynamics, increase the size of jitter and angle jitter values, do not forget to select the turn turn x y jitter jitter and flip options. Then adjust the spread option, increase the spread and quantity.



21, brush with white as the color, add the flash effect. Make sure you do this step when the layer is carried out in glitter.



22, with a Gaussian blur to make these flash blur radius set 0.9px, finally reducing glitter layer transparency to 38%. Make the picture look more comfortable.
