Fire photo: 3 steps to a white background

Occasionally for a print or website, you might require images with a white background. Usually these are easy to find, take or mask yourself, but for some things it can be more difficult.

Fire is one example. It would be difficult to try and mask out flames from a fire photo using the pen tool or a brush, because of the organic shapes and indistinct edges. The screen blend mode seems like it might work, but it is also no help.

As you will see in moment, it doesn't have to be difficult. Using blend modes and layers, it's very easy! So easy that I've turned it into an action which you can download here http://lukeroberts.us/2008/12/fire-photo-get-a-white-background-in-3-steps/
