Using PS to create a character Huoyanshan photo

Final Effect Diagram:

3. With the "Passionfire" image active, duplicate the "background" layer. Set the foreground and background colors to black and white, and press D on the keyboard. Click on the "background" layer again, and the fill foreground color is set to Black ~. See the picture below.

|4. Reactivate "Layer 1" and press + SHIFT + u to apply saturation command. Now, invert the color by command + one, and your image should be as negative as the movie now.

Copy Layer 1 and apply the Find Edge filter filter > Stylized > Find edge. Next, press COMMAND + I to invert the color and change the blending mode to hard light. There, now your image has a contrasting white line and a very dark background.

6. In order to give more contrast, the white line copies the "Layer 1" copy, and then changes the blending mode to filter color.

. Now we move to the second image. To the Passionfire Document Image window, use the Move tool to drag picture 2. If the pasted profile does not match the dialog box, simply click "OK" to fix it.

8. Fire image from "Picture 2" should be in "Layer 2". Change its blending mode to screen, which will hide all black colors in Layer 2. "If you do it right, your image should be similar to the one below."

9. Repeat press COMMAND + j to make sure you use the screen blending mode with the original "2 layer" Layer 2. Next, make the layers panel hide "Layer 2" to become invisible.

10. Click "Layer 2 Copy" to activate it, and then use the Free Transform command (Edit > Free transform) to rotate and adjust the image shown below for the fire. Don't forget to press the ENTER key when you are finished converting.

11. Still on the same floor, now use the Warp command (Edit > Transform > Twist) to bend the fire image-so hair flow. When you are finished, press the ENTER key. Take a look at the example below for reference.

12. If you think the result is not good enough, just use the liquefaction filter to solve it. I assume you already know how to use the liquefaction filter to forward the warp tool, and rotate the twist tool clockwise is the only tool I've ever gotten this way (see figure below

13. Copy "Layer 2" copy, then use the free Transform command to resize and rotate the image of the fire in the current layer. Don't forget to reposition the fire-fighting image. Once you've got this composition (see figure below), press the ENTER key

14. Repeat the previous steps to get the hair covered with fire. Just copy and modify it until you get all the hair part covered layer. If you want, you can use liquefaction filtering again. The final result of this process should look like the following picture, note how many layers to use.

15. OK, now activate "Layer 2" to make it visible again. Then change the blending mode to light. This step will color only the white line below it in the layer.

16. Still in the "2" layer, apply the free transform command to resize and rotate the fire image as shown below. The aim is to conceal the fire texture of the girl's body and hair. When you press ENTER, you are ready to convert

17. We want to do this in "layer 2nd, Fire image Blur", apply the Gaussian blur filter, filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur menu. Fill in a radius of about 10 to 15 pixels, and then click OK to finish. The fire image is blurred and will cause its texture to mix smoothly with the layers underneath it

18. Now add a layer mask "Layer 2". Then with the soft round brush tool, the opacity is 100%. Depending on your needs, set the brush size, and then just cover it up until it becomes a hidden perimeter fire. See the following procedure.

, 19. Of course, we will remove the white line in the image as shown (in the red rectangle below). First, add a new blank layer below the "2nd layer". "Then, just paint it into a black soft wheel brush tool.

20. Now go to the top level (my is: "Layer 2 Copy"), add two adjustment layer hue/saturation and brightness/contrast. Be careful not to change the layer adjustment order, or it will be the wrong color effect. Below you can see the settings I used to complete this step, adjust the order of the layers are also fastidious.

By adding a hue/saturation adjustment layer, we unify all colors. Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer, bring more color contrast, and make sure the image color looks like real fire

. I'm sure you found the spark effect of the fire. I created this simple setting using the Brush tool. Brushes have no special needs, but if you have one that will be useful then feel free to use it. Below you can see I use all the settings within the Brush palette, and of course you can change the settings as long as you like. Just make sure enough brush splash, change size.

Now use the modified brush to create a new layer of adjustment below the blank layer (the mine is named "Layer 4"). Choose 50% Gray from the "swatches" palette, and then you can start creating sparks of fire. Remember not to be monotonous, adjust the size of the brush, if necessary. I started using a large brush and then reduced it to a smaller size (by pressing the latch bracket on the keyboard, you can change the brush size more quickly).

If you don't know how to do this step, imagine where and how it flows if it is the real fire spark. For me, imagining things is very helpful.

. To make it more interesting, create a new layer and change the blending mode to filter color. Then use the normal soft wheel brush (instead of before we modify), the opacity is 50%. Just click on the body, neck, and hair section. I don't know how to explain this, but you can see the difference between the above and the image below. ]
