Hi Mardi, this is sup[er cool but there is only one smoke image available. How do I get the second one as well please?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

I just downloaded the brush file to see if there was just one brush. There are 15 smoke brushes in the set.

[@ElnaGeringer]

Thanks, I got it

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

This can be done in CS6.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

I always appreciate my viewers letting me know they like my tutorials. Thank you!

All clear until 5:41. I have watched the following 30 seconds or so again and again and tried and tried to replicate your instructions to pick up the Channel selection.. I must be missing some little detail. A moments pause and summary at critical points would be useful.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

What do you see when you Ctrl-click the RGB thumbnail of the smoke channel? Do you see the "marching ants" on your image or not? 🤔

[@stevewood3317]

@@BLTV_Photoshop Thanks for your response. I have looked again and can see that I was misled by thinking there was something significant about using smoke. The core message here is that a Selection in a Channel can be transferred to a Mask in a Layer. OK, using smoke makes it artistically interesting, but it could be anything. I certainly had problems with selecting in Channels because sometimes Ctrl Click did not work, but going to Select>Focus Area did bring up the marching ants. Another way to present all this would be to start with the white Layer, then show how placing the model above and the smoke create the image.
