Adobe Photoshop explosion tutorial

[Newbpwng]

not bad but bad color selection and doesn't match the pictures color palette, i would add more orange/red to the explosion also download a cloud brush with good edges sharp and defines and then use it on top of that explosion to make it look more like the others

When I merge the clouds together to create a final jpeg image, the cloud layers don't merge to create the original effect that it had. How do I merge it and keep the original explosion?

[joshuathejedi]

@Goonin7rav,

Good question. If you are saving it as a jpeg, remember that you

can have as many layers as you want and photoshop will compress

them when you save.

Try the two different ways to save jpegs: By using "Save for web"

and "Save as".

Try saving the explosion against black, without your background,

as a jpeg. Then import it into your background photo and set the

layer type to "screen" "or add" to get rid of the black.

Does any of that work?

[jvwsocial]

Good video. Great music intro and outro. The selection and time was very good. Excellent pace of speaking. I only noticed a few of "ums". The yellow tint was an excellent idea. Count me as Subscribed.
