anyone know how to do it, or of any other cool effects i could use?

Answer 1

it's hard to explain pn this, but you need to create a new layer on the picture of you. once on this layer, op[en the flames picture and select all. copy and paste onto the new, blank layer and select the eraser tool. erase the part of the flames you dont want, revealing the pic of you underneath.

any help you need, feel free to email me!

Answer 2

If you have flames you want to add, simply copy and paste the flames into the new picture in photoshop. The flames will end up on their own layer.

THEN, click the MASK button in the bottom of the layers pallet. Use the BRUSH and paint with BLACK. This will 'mask out' any part of the flames layer you don't want. (Make a mistake? No problem - use WHITE and 'unmask' any part you want to see again!)

I recommand you to use Google Picasa to manage and edit your pictures.

Picasa is software that helps you instantly find, edit and share all the pictures on your PC. Every time you open Picasa, it automatically locates all your pictures (even ones you forgot you had) and sorts them into visual albums organized by date with folder names you will recognize. You can drag and drop to arrange your albums and make labels to create new groups.

Picasa makes sure your pictures are always organized. Picasa also makes advanced editing simple by putting one-click fixes and powerful effects at your fingertips. And Picasa makes it a snap to share your pictures ¨C you can email, print photos at home, make gift CDs, instantly share via Hello™, and even post pictures on your own blog.
