Adding Flames and Effects to Make an Image with Impact

The Photo
First we need an image to work with. I chose an image of a snowboarder jumping from Stock.xchang, it’s great because he’s quite isolated against a straight blue background which will make cutting him out much easier.

The Image
You can get the image we’re using in this tutorial from Free Range Stock here. The technique can be applied to a beauty shot as well, you would just have to adjust the settings on some of the steps to get a more extreme smoothing effect.

Ethos
March 23, 2008
In some ways you could say that Support is our main service. 90% of our costs and resources are dedicated to providing installation, testing, customization, design and branding advice in support of our customers. You can get cheaper hosting (but not as fast and as reliable) you can download and configure WordPress for yourself (but not as hassle-free) but what you cannot do is find the whole personal brand package from any other provider with such a comprehensive support service.
Our support ethos promises:
> Free support for quick solutions
> Constantly updated knowledge base for self-help users
