Photoshop synthesis Tutorial: synthesize the superb skeleton smoke effect

[Production of PS synthetic skeleton smoke effect]In this tutorial, the synthesis results are very vivid. The author uses some smoke to synthesize the Avatar. Good creativity, difficult to synthesize. The entire production process: first find the Avatar material to be presented, extract it from the edge such as a filter, and then properly process it into a bit of smoke. Finally, some smoke materials are used to enhance the smoke concentration. The good results are complete. Final Effect

1. Open the image of the smoker.

2. Use a pen tool to extract images from the edges. Then use the pattern stamp tool to fix the case and remove the bolts (select the Soft Edge paint brush ). Press Ctrl + enter to change the path to the selected area, and then remove the unnecessary part. Edit> transform> flip horizontally, and then press Ctrl + T to adjust the position of the skeleton using the free conversion tool.

 

 

 

 

3. Open a smoke image, and use the polygon plug-in tool to select the image along the smoke edge. Then, use the mobile tool to drag the image to the file (smoke) and name it cig_smoke.

 

4. Select the "cig_smoke" layer and change the blending mode. You can see something very stiff next to the smoke. How can this problem be solved? First, use the smear tool to make the smoke look like burning, and then use the color level to make those stiff places fail. Finally, use free Transformation and final effect

6. Select "cig_smoke", select the smear tool in the toolbox, and set 37% in the property sample to make it similar to the edges of the skeleton. I think it is better to use the smear tool than the stamp tool, if you don't want to make the edge more rough.

 

7. Open the second smoke image, and choose image> adjust> reverse. Make the smoke white and the background black. Drag the tool to the file. Select the fade-down tool and set 18%, apply a few times back and forth at the edge of the image, and finally change the Blending Mode

10. Repeat the above steps to continue to improve the incomplete parts of the skeleton .. Note: In some cases, you can close the layers to facilitate operations.

 

 

 

11. Does the skeleton seem like a mask. To continue to improve the work. Open another smoke image, remove it, drag it to the file, and name it new_smoke. Change the mode, and then use the transform tool to fit the smoke in the left-side skeleton. Editing> transformation> distortion, operation control points, and smoke have a diffuse shape.

 

 

 

 

12. Add smoke to the skeleton. Open another image and select a part of the image. Use the polygon plug-in tool to extract the part. In the toolbox, click the tool icon, drag this part to the file, and change its mixed mode. And name it wispy_smoke. Finally, use the free conversion tool. The effect is as follows:

When you use the smear tool, you can change the attributes of the tool: intermediate adjustment; high brightness, size, you can choose your own. If the image is not obvious. You can open the layer of the skeleton for reference.

 

 

15. Hide all smoke layers, select the layer of the skeleton, and then select the eraser tool to set its attributes: opacity: 100%; flow: 100%. Erase the white line next to it. Open the smoke layer, and select the skeleton layer, image> adjustment> color level. Adjust the effect.
