PHOTO MANIPULATION with Photoshop: Smoke Effect

Creating fantasies of using manipulation of images is a certain satisfaction for the designers . In addition, the manipulation of photographs makes designers think freely outside the customs and graphic standards that fetter the creative imagination of the designers of space.

In this tutorial, I tried to adapt the effect of smoke (smoke) on a piece of facial images using Adobe Photoshop. Yup, we went straight to the steps of manufacture.

STEP ONE:

Give a radial gradient background colors of dark blue to black.

STEP TWO:

Insert a picture, as the example I used a picture Bunga Citra Lestari. Images can be found linked above.Or a good thing when using the image itself.

STEP THREE:

By using the pen tool (P) make the form as shown below.

STEP FOUR:

Make a selection based on the form object was created with the pen tool. The trick, right-click (in a state pen tool active) and select Make Selection. After that, the menu bar, select select> inverse (Ctrl + Alt + I) for selecting the reverse of the current selection.Then click the layer Bunga Citra Lestari (BCL) and press the Delete key on the keyboard.

STEP FIVE:

Create a new layer then select the Brushes tool (B). See the picture below to take the smoke of brush that can be downloaded at the link above.

Make sure your foreground color is white photoshop, and select the appropriate smoke brushes and then place it as shown in the picture below.
