How to Create a Fantasy Photo Manipulation with Fire

Step 32

Add layer mask – click on marked shortcut. Then, choose huge soft round brush and erase right side of layer. For smoother effect, you can decrease opacity of this layer to 48%.

Step 33

Add new layer (Layer > New > Layer or Shift + Ctrl + N). Use black soft, round brush with smaller opacity and draw blured shadow.

Decrease opacity to around 60%.

Step 34

Add new layer (Layer > New > Layer or Shift + Ctrl + N). Pick soft round brush with opacity around 30%. Set its size to 20px. Draw shadows below feet.

Step 35

Again add new layer (Layer > New > Layer or Shift + Ctrl + N). Pick soft round brush with opacity around 30%. Set its size to 120px. Draw shadows below second feet.

Step 36

This step is optional. Go above all layers. Add new layer (Layer > New > Layer or Shift + Ctrl + N). Make base for shoes. I used hard round brush, #0d050e color (dark purple), with dynamic size.

Add new layer (Layer > New > Layer or Shift + Ctrl + N). Then, right-click on it and choose “Create clipping mask” (Alt+Ctrl+G or Layer > Create Clipping Mask). Choose soft round brush around 15 px. Use #7a5d54 color. Draw lights from fire, which you’ll place.

Decrease its opacity to 36%.

Add new layer (Layer > New > Layer or Shift + Ctrl + N). Then, right-click on it and choose “Create clipping mask” (Alt+Ctrl+G or Layer > Create Clipping Mask). Choose soft round brush around 6 px. Use #fe8e23 and #fbd888 color. Draw highlight on shoe.

Decrease its opacity to around 25%.

Step 37

Place “Fire” stock to your file. Drag it from folder and drop to your file. Change its blending mode to Screen. Choose 50px soft round brush and erase parts, which doesn’t fit.

Step 38

Change blending mode of layer with fire to “Normal”, add new layer. Then, right-click on it and choose “Create clipping mask” (Alt+Ctrl+G or Layer > Create Clipping Mask). Use Clone stamp tool and fix some fire.

Now, change blending mode of layer with fire to “Screen” again.

Step 39

Add new layer (Layer > New > Layer or Shift + Ctrl + N). Then, right-click on it and choose “Create clipping mask” (Alt+Ctrl+G or Layer > Create Clipping Mask). Choose soft round brush 6 px. Use #fe8e23 and #fbd888 color. Draw something drop-like on falling fire.
