The settings you use here are your choice. Choose Filter > Distort > Wave from the menu.Make certain the filer drop down menu is set to Preserve Roundeness and move the slider right to get a more random density shape. Choose Filter > Other > Maximum from the menu.No special settings, simply blur it quite a bit. Choose Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur from the menu and blur the ring.When you are happy with positioning Control-Click/Right-click the Mask and choose Apply Layer Mask from the contextual menu. You may need to unlink the mask with the layer and then move the mask around a bit to position the "poofs" a little better. Still with the mask highlighted, choose Image > Adjustments > Levels to increase contrast of the mask.With this Layer Mask highlighted, choose Filter > Render Clouds from the menu.Use Edit > Free Transform to distort the ring into perspective (Holding down Modifier keys while dragging handles will allow for perspective distortion).Make certain Rectangular to Polar is selected and click OK. Choose Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates.nothing special, just a straight line within the canvas area (stay away from the image edges) Paint a straight, white, horizontal, stroke.These steps are to explore the method and not to provide a final usable image from this post. It's all filter choices and slider adjustments. These are the basic steps to show how you could achieve something similar without any special brush work or painting skills. The entire point of this method is its randomness. And I couldn't create that same image twice. It took 10 times longer to write this post than it does to simply create the image.Įvery time you do these steps you'll get a different image. However, detailing the steps necessary takes more effort than actually creating the artwork (smoke). This can actually be done fairly easily with Photoshop.
