:>: Real Smoke Photoshop Brushes - amazingly high quality, free.

Arty Birds, Insects, and much more. Other well-done brushes. see direct links below >>>UPDATE 05 MAR 2010<<<

They are really incredibly well done brushes. (my apologies, didn't have a good test subject handy, just grabbed the first pic. I saw... kind of a genie in a bottle theme. )
(Thanks to Blair at Kerkythea forum for the tip.)

1. download zipped brush file.
2. Unzip download
3. copy .abr format brush file to your "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop xxx\Presets\Brushes" folder
4. open new session of photoshop
5. open file in which you need smoke
6. use white color to paint
7. choose "brush" button in photoshop
8. make new layer above your rendering
9. under brush shape type choose the tiny arrow pulldown menu>Load Brushes
10. choose the "Real Smoke" brushes
11. choose "append" to current brushes
12. now you will find the new smoke brushes loaded into your brushes pallette
13. choose a smoke to paint with, resize the brush tool to be the right size
14. a single click-and-release of the mouse to paint the perfect smoke.
15. if desired, change blending mode of the smoke layer to something like "overlay"... but not necessary.
