Change the opacity of the brush to achieve a smooth transition between colors.

Step 122
Combine all the butterflies with adjustment layers in one group

Step 123
Create a new layer above the group with butterflies. Hold down Alt and click on the group. If a new layer near an arrow, then all that will done on this layer apply only to group.

Step 124
Take Brush Tool (B). Set these settings: Size: 75px, Hardness: 0% Opacity: 50% – 100%, Flow: 100%. Set Black color and darken the edges of butterflies.

Step 125
Now add fire and flying sparks. Create a new group, name it «Fire», and create a new layer.

Step 126
Take Brush Tool (B). Set these settings: Size: 75px, Hardness: 0% Opacity: 60%, Flow: 100%. Choose a color # aa140d.

Step 127
Use this brush here. Carefully walk around it on the edges of the wings of left butterflies. Give effect fire, bringing the flames a bit.

Step 128
Do, a new layer is the same with the right butterflies.

Step 129
Now let us work on the fire. Apply to each layer of motion blur effect, for this go to Filter> Blur > Motion blur. In the window that appears, set the following settings for the left layer


For the right layer:

Create another new layer and repeat the application of fire, but now do not blur it.
Step 130
Now add shine and light the fire on the wings of butterflies. Create a new layer. Take the brush with these settings. Choose a color № ffb400 Remember this layer is above the rest. Now carefully draw the fire and the wings of butterflies. Do not paint over them completely. Green shows where I was putting color!

Step 131
Change the blending mode for this layer. In the Layers list, select the mode Saturation.

Step 132
Create new layer and repeat the application of fire. Take Brush Tool (B). Set these settings: Size: 75px, Hardness: 0% Opacity: 60%, Flow: 100%. Choose a color # ebb032.
Add a mask to remove the group part of the lamp with the same brush that you did fire.

This will give the depth of the fire. The figure shows the result.

Step 133
Now add sparks Go to File>Place and select image with sparks. Create a new group and place added file there. Reduce the size of pictures that sparks were not so big and tilt them slightly.

This looks horrible, most of them has said it to be beautiful, but very frankly it seems like everything has been forced upon to put together without matching itself.
Art is not a mere claustrophobic thing, it should be simple but elegant. There are many brilliant Photoshop manipulation which looks beautiful, true many things have been imposed but there is a perfect balance in them. I am very sorry, that this manipulation is not impressive nor very attractive, mere imposing of glitters or emphasising of too many characters with rainbow colours will not make everything beautiful, hoping to get more creative and good manipulative PS from you. -
