Creating Burnt Paper Effect
In this tutorial, we are going to learn how we can recreate the effect of burnt paper. We are going to use a gradient for colored paper, to give it more texture.
Yes, it is possible to find a good web host. Sometimes it takes a while. After trying several, we went with Server Intellect and have been very happy. They are the most professional, customer service friendly and technically knowledgeable host we've found so far.
First, we start by making a free-hand selection of what is going to be the burnt-out part of the paper, with the lasso tool.
Next, we want to choose Quick Mask Mode on the toolbox (or press Q), and choose Filter > Pixelate > Crystalize. Depending on your image size, choose a value that will create some good uneven edges. We will use 4.
Exit out of Quick Mask Mode, by using the same button. Then what we want to do is create a new layer and fill the selection (Edit > Fill). We will fill with White, but you can use anything that will be underneath the paper, as this fill will be the hole that's burnt out.
Now we want to goto the Layer Styles of our new layer and choose Outer Glow. We can also give it a bit of depth with a slight Inner Shadow (opacity 20%). For Outer Glow, we change the color to black and the Blend Mode to Normal, we have Opacity at 75%, Spread 5 and Size 10. You may also find that the technique looks better set to Precise, as opposed to Softer.
We chose Server Intellect for its dedicated servers, for our web hosting. They have managed to handle virtually everything for us, from start to finish. And their customer service is stellar.
Above is the outcome of this tutorial. There are many many variations of smoke you can achieve with this method of repetition. Once again, experimentation is the key and every situation is different in PhotoShop.
Guys, please take a look at Server Intellect for Windows Web Hosting. I'm very pleased. You will be too. Take a look and see for yourself!

I decided it was time to confront myself.That night at home,I took off all my clothes and had a long look at the woman in the mirror.She was androgynous.Take my face - without makeup,it was a cute young boy‘s face.My shoulder muscles,arms and hands were powerful and muscular from the crutches.I had no breasts; instead,there were two prominent scars on my chest.I had a sexy flat stomach,a bubble butt and a well-developed thigh from years of ski racing.My right leg ended in another long scar just above the knee.
