STEP FOURTEEN:

Click on the BCL layer and click on the Add Vector Mask icons at the bottom layer palette. Pastikan warna forground adalah hitam . Make sure the forground color is black. After that, use the Brushes tool to spruce up the face that is connected to the smoke (smoke brushes). This is done to create a unified face to the smoke.
