Assignment 1: Week 3

Girl on Fire
She looks as if she is in pain. Ouch!


Similar techniques as shown in the previous post are used to achieve the burning hair effect.

Procedures:
1. Select, copy and paste the image of the fire on to the image of the girl.
2. Duplicate the image as many times as needed and resize it using Free Transform Tool.
3. Arrange the images to cover the hair.
4. Disable the images upon finishing Step 3.
5. Select the girl using either Magic Wand Tool or Colour Range (this will deselect most of the blue sky automatically).
6. Proceed to select the areas other than the hair using Lasso Tool.
7. Enable and Screen all the fire images, and adjust their opacity accordingly.
8. Apply Gaussian Blur to the fire images so that they blend with the girl's image better.

I must confess, this image is quite poorly done. It can be improved further by making the images of the fire smaller and by blurring the images more in order for them to blend better.



God bless,
Laryssa
