Can I get smoke in Photo?

[enginestar]

I need to add smoke in a picture.

Can I do this in Photo?

Thanks.

One way.

There are lots of free Photoshop smoke brushes (abr format) that will load into APhoto

All depends on what sort of smoke effect you are after

Thanks for the reply.

I need to make the exact smoke you see here:

Any ideas the best brush to use?

ALSO... is it a 5 minute job? Or needs more time?

Thanks.

Attached is a 5 min job using a soft (normal) brush and some blurring

It all depends on how realistic you need it to look as to how long you spend on it

You can also use the Blur tool and the Smudge tool to get whips smoke trails.

Whips?  

Or did you perhaps mean ‘wisps’?

I think I was going for wispy but obviously my sub-conscience is feeling a bit kinky tonight

Thanks for the replies guys.

@carl123 That looks awesome what you did.

I want similar, but the smoke needs to be wider a little.

+ I would like a few trails.

What plugin did you use?

Any recommendations where I should get smoke plugins?

I searched and there seems to be too many available.

Thanks.

You don’t need a plugin! Please re-read Carl’s description of how he achieved his result:

@Alfred Sorry, I re read.

Now the light has turned on.

Playing with now.

Thanks.
