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?

@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?

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.

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
