My first try at gimp, and I love it!

Check out this picture, Jappa helped me a bunch on how to make the fire, and I think I perfected it... now I work on the smoke!

Try reducing the opacity on the fire layer and de-saturating it a bit.

That should make it look a little less digital.

It really doesn't look right I think from the brightness of the photos, I'll work with it later today.

Looks like the 109 is bleeding, not smoking.

My thoughts as well...looks like the smoke trail is too red

Not that i'm doing your work for you... I just like taking images and trying to edit them myself.

Looks way to outa place.  But it was a nice try.

I think raising the opacity of it would fix that, only thing is that the fire is part of the normal picture and i can't change the opacity. All i did was make it brighter. Ill try again though

I've got it fixed, I was just using the burn and smudge thing on the whole thing. Hold on, I got another one, about another 20 or 30 more minutes, and it'll be done.

[Jack16]

any better?

[Kazaa]

Smudge tool ?

Smudge tool ?

Yea, you can make extended flames with it.

new pic, I was playing around with the smoke, after looking at it, seems I layed it on a bit too dark.
