Color Smoke
This is how to do the beautiful color smoke effect. I am sure that most of y'all will enjoy this.

You will need

This smoke brush.

How

Make sure that the smoke is on a different layer than everything else!

Right click on the layer and go to "Blending options"

Then check gradient overlay.

Then choose the colors that you want in the effect.

You can add a "Outer glow" for a smoother effect but it is not needed.

And that is it! It is really simple buy looks amazing.

Here is a video of me walking you through the steps.

Here is a better example of the outcome. That is a wallpaper I made for my favorite podcast. It is still a little rough, I am still working on it.
