Tammy58 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I do all the pictures for my grand daughters soccer, basketball and baseball. We have seen pictures where they make the ball and or bat look like they are on fire. I asked the woman what program she used to do it and she said elements. I have CS5 on one computer and Elements 9 on the other. I neglected to ask her how she did it. (dahhh) Does anyone out there know how? Is there and action or something? Thank you in advance. Tammy P.S. All of you wonderful scrapbookers out there, have a wonderful day and God Bless!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose Ann Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 There's always more than one way to do something. CS5 will probably be easier for you to manipulate the flames since it has the warp tools and style tools. I'd probably find a picture of flames that I liked and then resize it to make it proportional to the bat or ball. Then I'd use the warp tool to bend it the way I wanted and a layer mask to hide the unwanted parts. I might also play with layer styles to make it seem hotter and more glowing. Hope that helps. It's a start for you anyway....post again if you have more questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissamargaret Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Dimmy (DMI) has some flame photo paper that I used in a very therapeutic (if not very nice) layout depicting a former boss getting her just desserts (simmering in a warm and reportedly everlasting climate).

podiumchick Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 My niece had her volleyball on fire in one of her senior photo poses. I figured it was photoshopped, but NO. She showed me the ball. The photographer put a little special glue on it and lit it! Cool photo. For my DS we want to do smoking running shoes since he runs cross-country. I'll be experimenting.

cherise Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Kim - that's amazing that it was literally lit on fire! I think I prefer the Photoshop kind of fire! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
podiumchick Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Cherise, I agree! I know my DS will NOT allow me to ignite his shoes for senior photos! We're gonna work on some digital smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
