Realistic Smoke brushes for Adobe PS...

Frederik

Hi All,

At the Kerkythea Forum, one of our uses (Blair) posted this tip some days ago...

Although credits shouldn't go to me, I thought I should give the tip here as well on some amazingly high quality and free Real Smoke Brushes for Adobe Photoshop...

download zipped brush file.

Unzip download

copy .abr format brush file to your "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop xxx\Presets\Brushes" folder

open new session of photoshop

open file in which you need smoke

use white color to paint

choose "brush" button in photoshop

make new layer above your rendering

under brush shape type choose the tiny arrow pulldown menu>Load Brushes

choose the "Real Smoke" brushes

choose "append" to current brushes

now you will find the new smoke brushes loaded into your brushes pallette

choose a smoke to paint with, resize the brush tool to be the right size

a single click-and-release of the mouse to paint the perfect smoke.

if desired, change blending mode of the smoke layer to something like "overlay"... but not necessary.

Oh, those look nice. Too bad they don't have those for Gimp.

EDIT: I spoke too soon, I guess you can! Great! http://www.katspace.org/graphics/digitart/brushes#A
