When Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

[EIngerson]

Just be careful...my breathing and my chest are just starting to feel better today...I will not do this without a mask again, nor will I do it in such a large time block. I breathed in too much incense, and I am paying for it dearly.

LOL. Good tip.

To add color to your smoke, copy the Background layer and change the blending mode to 'Color'. Use the Brush tool and the color pallet to apply color where you want it.

You can also create a negative of the original and make the background white, rather than black.

Keith that was the plan....as I was going throught the photos I didn't find anything that I wanted to use for that Part 2 of the project and it was delete, delete, delete because the smoke was too chaotic...I had to keep uploading photos becauee I kept filling the cards...and then I had this lighting set up and found these.

I do have a few from a group I kept with two lights each across from each other down at the smoke and at 90 degrees to the camera, still a bit too chaotic I think but smoke was pretty clear and white. I should just get the practice in and work with those to see what happens in the negavtive conversion and with the smoke then coverted to color. I have a tutorial that takes me though a step by step and that was the original intent of the pproject...to get to the negative and with color, but with somehting simple. So if I move forward with what I have, who knows what I might find in them.:mrgreen:
