Step 15
For a better contrast i used a normal black/white Gradient Map –Adjustment Layer just above the background folder containing my wall and sky stock.
Step 16
Don't forget to add flames over the model layer so it wont look static and fake. I used some small flames over her hand but under the painted hair layer and over her back. I used layers on screen blending mode. Add flames one on top of the other to create a more accentuated fire.
Step 17
Create a new layer and paint with an orange color over the model's skin to create the bright light coming from the fire. Then set this layer to Overlay blending mode.
Step 18
Add some fire debris using the brush i created for you (download). Just choose an orange color and paint around the flames. If you create too many particles, just create a layer mask and brush some away.
Step 19
Add more contrast using a curves adjustments layer.
Step 20
In this step we’ll add some adjustment layers so our composition will blend in well. First go to Adjustment Layers –Color Balance twice. Make the presets like you see in the images below.
Step 21
Create a new layer and select the brush tool. Add some black shadows in the corners. If it's to dark , decrese the layer's opacity.
Step 22
Go to Filter > Blur > Radial Blur and and make the presets like in the image below. We'll use this on the edges.
Step 23
Next go to Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask. (see the presets below).
Step 24
This is optional. Add a texture to her face so it will look more dark.
