    Hi

    This is awesome. I have a picture of small size. Is there any way that I could blowup the image without having distortions in the image? (Zooming only distorts the image)

    Thanks
    Suma

    great video tut.. shame my attempt to do it looks not as good as yours. i dont have a brush density option on my liquify filter, may be why. Just cant get the fire to look as ‘real’ as yours…

    This post appears to recieve a large ammount of visitors. How do you get traffic to it? It offers a nice individual twist on things. I guess having something authentic or substantial to talk about is the most important factor.

    I like your tutorial maybe with warp it may create better result or maybe some dusty things.

Create A Composite Layer

If you have a multilayer composition and you
want to apply an effect to all the layers at once, don’t flatten the layers–use a composite layer instead. Hide the layers you want excluded, and press Shift-Command-Option-E (PC: Shift-Ctrl-Alt-E). A new layer will be created at the top containing a merged copy of all the visible layers.

Another option is to create a new layer at the top of the stack and make it active. Command-click (PC: Ctrl-click) each layer you want to include to make those layers active, as well. Press Option-Command-E (PC: Alt-Ctrl-E).
