Advanced Photoshop Technique



Tutorial For A Smoke Effect on Photoshop CS6



    In this tutorial you learn how to add a smoke effect onto your project in Photoshop CS6. It creates a look that seems hard to achieve, but really is not. All you need to do is place a photo into Photoshop, and place a mask on it. This time you don't want the usual white mask, you want a black mask and white paintbrush. Then, you go into all of the brush options on the top left corner of the program, and scroll until you find the kind that looks like smoke. Click it, and make sure that your brush is coloured white so that you can bring forward parts of the real image underneath the black mask. Then just start! You can choose what angle the smoke is on and where you place it. Once you have done it all, you're done! 
    The video is pretty good at explaining the basics, but for me I find it hard for anyone to explain. I had to actually make one on my Photoshop at home to fully understand. 
    This effect would be cool to use on a more serious poster, or just to make movie advertisement. You could also do it just for fun at home to create cool projects.
That's all :)
Until next time!
