Add smoke to anything in Photoshop

Step 1: Installing Smoke Brushes 

In this tutorials you will learn how to add smoke to anything and also change the color of the smoke 

First you need to install a smoke brush pack. You can find different smoke brushes online but to download the one i'm using click here. Once you have downloaded the file just drag it into Photoshop like you would drag a picture and the brushes should automatically be installed and available to use

Step 2: Using the brush window

While you have your "Brush Tool" selected right click in your composition and the brush window will pop up. Here you can select one of the smoke brushes we have just installed. You can also resize your brush by changing the "px" at the top and also change direction of your brush by clicking and holding the triangle next to the circle and rotating moving it.

Step 3: Applying the smoke

To apply the smoke just click on where you want your smoke to go. You can also decrease the opacity of the brush to make it blend better with your image. Make sure you create a new layer for every smoke you create. This will allow you to freely delete and manipulate the smoke

Since we are using the "Brush Tool" you can change the color of your brush to also change color of your smoke. This allows you to create different effects 

Step 4: Changing color of the smoke
