Finally, merge all the visible layers once again by hitting Shift+Ctrl+Alt+E. Go to Filter > Other > High Pass. Set this layer to Overlay blending. Take Smudge Tool, set its range to Highlight with 10% exposure. Stroke the smudge to the smoke parts in the image. This will make the stroked parts brighter. See the illustration picture to see the parts to be stroked. Finally, give this layer high pass layer a layer mask. Mask the foreground and space crafts.
