car on fire

[emanda1964]

Hi

I know there r a lot of fire tuts but this is little different

So we'll start with this

and we'll end up with this

First open the image of an object u want to put on fire

Then open new layer and set the blending mode to screen

Use the paint bucket and make the layer black

Change the primary colour to white and with the brush tool (size 15) draw some random lines like this

Then duplicate the black layer and aply a motion blur (effects - blur - motion blur)

-angle 135

-distance 80

and uncheck the "centered" (optional)

Go to the second black layer and repeat motion blur

then merge the 2 black layers

Now aply dents (effect - distort - dents)

- scale 80

- amount 80

Then go to adjustments -curves and aply the changes like in the image below

after this, unckeck the black layer so u have now the backround image

With the lasso tool select the car (dsnt have to be perfect), something like this

Go to effects - distort - displacement

X - 10

Y - 10

Then deselect the car, check the black layer back and flatten the image

Thats it. Looks real, right?

yah and it's good but it's something you can do by fiddling around.

http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=26921 you might want to read this. I think 5a and 6. Also I don't know how your images are saved, but the quality isn't very good.

[pdnnoob]

are those GIF or maybe Bitmap images? that may be why the quality is so terrible.

[emanda1964]

Flickr is much more reliable, in my humble opinion. Try that.

Try TinyPic

Thank you! I dont know which one but i will definitely try something else. This is unbelievable, i keep trying to realize what happened.

I cannot even fix anything because i changed my computer with an imac and as everybody knows Paint.net dsnt work on mac (which is so hurting because im in love with Paint). But because im in no mood whatsoever to try anything else i think ill install windows too on this mac so ill be able to use it again, i so miss it.
