Rihanna fire effect


1. I cut out the background with the background eraser.
2. Desaturate the image, adjust the levels panel and brightness panel
3. Invert the image and then merge all the layers together
4. Select the 'RGB' layer in the channels tab and copy it into a new document with a black background.
5. Lock the transparent pixels and then paint over the image with a 'light yellow' brush
6. Add a red outer glow to the image and change the opacity to 50%
7. Paste the fire image into this document in a new layer and copy/paste it around the image of Rihanna.
8. Merge all the flame layers together.
9. Use the eraser brush to erase any unwanted flames that are overlapping the image.
10. Finally add a new layer above the black background but below the other layers. Select a large brush size (1000+) in 'darker red' colour and click once in the middle behind Rihanna.
